Solander might be an unknown name for you, but in fact Solander has existed in various formations since 2005. Making music for the short movie En död kråka (A dead crow) in 2006, contributing music for the film Hata Göteborg (Hate Gothenburg) in 2007 and releasing three EP’s spread out during these years.
Solander is Fredrik Karlsson backed up by various people mostly from the Malmö underground scene. It might be a string quartet, it might be an indie rockband or sometimes only by a single cellist. All of this is mere different kind of angles of what Solander sounds like, you never know. But what we do know, is that Solander’s music is based on strong melodies and thoughtful lyrics, a widespread variation of instrumentation, and a hunger to explore new paths and different ways to perform the songs.
