We worked with Andreas Nilsson on âSilent Shout,â he made visual characters and elements for the sounds we had made. None of us, at that time, had been outside Sweden making art. Andreas did some short films to use as acceptance speech/es for The Knife at The Swedish Grammis in 2007, winning the four categories Composer, Producer, Pop Group and Album. watch video on watch page

In 2008-9 we collaborated with Mt. Sims and Planningtorock on Tomorrow, In A Year, music for an âelectro-operaâ on Darwin by Danish performance group Hotel Pro Forma. It was released as an album on Rabid in 2010, but never on vinyl. So weâve decided to reissue it as a numbered, limited-edition double LP in August featuring brand new artwork from Martin Falck. More news on further reissues soon ;) Pre-order here: rabid.lnk.to/tiay-vinylYo

Olof made âEchoes From Mamoriâ for an exhibition in Spain in 2009, using field recordings collected in the Amazon when preparing for the Darwin theatre piece that became Tomorrow in a Year. It's a fun 13-minute dancey track that features frogs and birds turned into arpeggios and melodies. It was only ever released as a free CD handed out at that exhibition so weâve decided to now release âEchoes From Mamoriâ on Rabid Records. Enjoy!
