Østergaard Art Quartet is the result of a meeting between three countries and four truly personal musicians. With an unorthodox instrumentation and a collective urge to play without predefined roles, they create unpredictable and playful music. It’s 100% collective improvisation – no additives.
The first single from the upcoming album, due for release the 10th of December.
Near the cemetery in a yellow house lives an old woman
If you pick a flower for her she will give you candy
In a big house up the hill lives a man known from TV
If you bring him a dead animal he will bury it for you

Remember early in Ada Blenkhorn’s life, when you still sang songs about maidens, when trouble could arise over a game of craps, when banjo songs was topping the charts, and Rhododendron still just was that popular flowering garden plant?
Sci-fi · Romance · Guns · Ammo
Twisted greenish echoes from the twenties, served by absinthe-intoxicated humanoids reclaiming decadence on behalf of Jazz Music. Bring out the flourescents and the plastic wrapping – this is Prylf.
Mika · Michala · Sofie
… where faint tinkles becomes cathedral bells, electronic dust creates hills and valleys and everyday words tell tales of epic proportions. Nuaia are three musical map writers, daring to explore what’s closest.
Peace · Love · Small Bands
This, my friends, is the dawn of the Swedish peace jazz movement. Only stone-hearted men can stay unaffected, when them hundred-year old-devil dissonances smoke the peace pipe together with the sweetest melodies from today.
Planets · Boogeymen · Fuzzy Logic
A new electric experience from Corpus Morgan blending the beauty and the beats with the burlesque and bizarre, spanning from the most delicate building blocks of human life to the vast voids travelled by galactic adventurers.
High voltage · Dust · Bric-a-brac · Passwords
With ten hours in studio and ten months of post processing, Television Pickup has created an album that sounds like a collection of postcards from a deserted tourist paradise, scanned and converted to electronic signals.
Wood · Gloom · Hi-tech · Pots and pans
Kriktor gives space to the smallest sounds in a tense dissection of harmony and rhythm. It’s stubborn, but also extremely indecisive. It’s music made simple – perhaps even stupid. It’s quite possibly like nothing you’ve ever heard.
Swing · Kurbits · Chance operations
På Begäran could be the songs from the radio, cut apart and brought back to life with soulful improvisations and brisk rhytmic treatments, only to be smashed into pieces again in the post production. 15,5 is back, by popular demand.
Swiss mountains · Foxtrot · Babushkas · Bourbon
Music from your grandma’s attic. Weird sounds from under your bed. The drones from vast western landscapes and claustrophobic wall-to-wall carpets. It’s all there, and more, on Television Pickup’s first album.
