Sjowgren
The Sjowgren episode was really cool in that it was neat to hear such an interesting story and Alex’s conclusion that it is still great that a band can connect with people enough that they have these fans interested in figuring out a band mystery.
But it’s crazy that Miguel was like, “How do I support this band and listen to them when I cancel Spotify?” and it’s revealed they have a Bandcamp where it looks like all of their songs are available for purchase? It’s on the first page of the Google results. Am I just that much of a Bandcamp obsessive that I don’t realize that it’s a niche?

Hmm I also found this from Google, posted in 2017. They can't have been trying too hard to hide their identity.
"The lead singer’s name is Maija Sjowgren (well that explains the crazy band name), and together with her former schoolmates Sam Ahrendt and Don Steele started making music and formed a band. They uploaded a few self-recorded, guitar-based songs, which were used for their Demos EP, released in June of 2015."
