Percussionist Sven Fredrik makes his solo debut with imaginative instrumental music in the borderland between electronica and psychavant garde. With drums as his main instrument, he takes inspiration from the local scene’s flourishing electronic sphere, nature and space and paints sound worlds with large brushes and small details. Sven Fredrik has been active in indie rock contexts since the turn of the millennium and has toured extensively in Europe and North America.

“En separation och nykter livsstil blev startskottet. 15 oktober är det dags för Gävlebon Sven Fredrik att avtäcka sitt debutalbum som det även blir releasefest för på Musikhuset torsdag 21 oktober. Han är känd som trumslagare i The Scrags, men den här gången är det allt annat än skramlig garagerock som gäller.”
