FRÄNDER

“The quartet’s warm, powerful and lovable charisma can hardly disappoint even the most hardened souls.” –  http://rootszone.dk/

”astonishing from the very first note /…/ Inspired by Estonian and Swedish folk music this quartet make their own statement /…/ This band´s vocal harmonies are little short of amazing” Piteå-Tidningen

FRÄNDER plays modern acoustic folk music forged in the deep forests of the North. With seductive harmonies, heavy grooves and mesmerizing energy the members creates a unique musical landscape filled with mystery and charm. Their music seeks to unlock your imagination, create stories and paint pictures in your mind.

“We started FRÄNDER in 2015 with one purpose: to combine our fresh ideas with the sounds of tradition. We have found a strong symbiosis between the creative freedom within the expressive modern sound of nordic folk music and the traditional music of our ancestors. We have never been interested in reproducing the past, but strive to find new ways toward the future.” – FRÄNDER 2019

FRÄNDER is an ancient Swedish word referring to both ‘family’ and ‘kindred’ as well as ‘fellow humans’. At the same time it describes a closer, more soulful relationship between human beings than just friends. For us it means that we all are FRÄNDER.

‘The earth so black beneath my feet, the heavens are my ceiling’

The Swedish folk duo JÄRVENTAUS | DLUZEWSKI is releasing their debut album on Mad King Productions during fall 2018.

Stories from the contemplative roots and the words one does not want to recognise. They remind you of sorrow and despondency, but at the same time they are words you long for; Hope, warmth and a sense of security.

The duo JÄRVENTAUS | DLUZEWSKI creates a world where the music, in it’s simplicity, speaks for itself. The roots from the northernmost part of Sweden, Norrbotten, is clearly heard throughout the music; both the newly written and the traditional. The sounds brings you to times long gone and present time as well as awakens a longing for what awaits.

‘Jorden svart under mina fötter, taket det är himmelen’

Folkmusikduon JÄRVENTAUS | DLUZEWSKI släpper sin debutskiva på Mad King Productions hösten 2018.

Berättandet, betraktandet, rötterna och orden som en egentligen inte vill känna igen sig i. De talar om vemod och misströstan, men också om orden man längtar efter; hoppet, värmen och tryggheten.

JÄRVENTAUS | DLUZEWSKI skapar tillsammans ett rum där musiken i sin enkelhet får tala för sig själv. Rötterna från Norrbotten hörs tydligt i både text och musik där de influerar stämningen genom både det nyskrivna och det ärvda. Tonerna tar med dig till minnen från förr, till livet vi lever nu och en längtan om vad som ska komma tränger igenom.


Line up:
Maria Järventaus – vocals
Gabbi Dluzewski – mandolin, swedish bosoki

Mad Artwork

 Mad Artwork is a rock band based in Uppsala, Sweden.

“I Still Breathe is a gargantuan debut from a band that is sure to make a big splash on the heavy rock & prog scene. Make sure you don’t miss this one” Sea Of Tranquility

“When the metal onslaught gets interspersed with idyllic penny whistle, the effect is truly amazing” Let It Rock

“Every song is a journey with many winding roads and hills to climb.”Metal Temple

Just as life is full of contrasts, Mad Artwork’s music revolves around the presence of opposites – black & white, soft & hard, life & death.

Since the beginning of 2006 Mad Artwork has become one of the most appreciated underground bands in Sweden. They have toured Sweden and Europe several times through the years and received praising reviews from all over the world for their debut album ‘I Still Breathe’, as well as their captivating live performances.

Mad Artwork is a band that conquers every stage, every venue and wins new fans everywhere, no matter the audience. They are such a heavy live act that we promise you that they will make your crowd go mad. MKP’s goal is to take Mad Artwork from an extraordinary underground band to a household name among established, hard rockin’ bands.

“We always strive to explore new places and angles in music. Of course you can hear the heritage left by our great heroes, such as Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Pink Floyd, yet our aim is to never get stuck in a tradition or to let any ”rules” outline our music. The result is a musical sanctuary where we can make our own unique mix of heavy riffs, beautiful melodies and mad whims.” – Mad Artwork
