One of my favorite international discoveries from last year was Sweden's Fredrik, whose album Na Na Ni really blew me away and made it to our top albums of 2008 lists. Lucky for me (and for you lovely readers), they're coming out with another album this year, Trilogi, on November 17th. Originally three separate EPs, they've been combined to form this album, which is apparently much darker than Na

Sweden's indie rock scene is quite strong and I always tend to find a band/artist that I seem to be interested in. Fredrik's album Na Na Ni was just given a re-release stateside, and I've been given a chance to listen to its entirety for the last few weeks. Fredrik's music is experimental folk (a [...] No related posts. Sorry.

Fredrik. November 12th, 2008 at T.T. The Bear's in Cambridge, MA.Sweden's Fredrik are new to the states. In fact, when I caught them in Boston, it was part of their first ever U.S. tour, in support of their debut album, Na Na Ni. And even though the crowd was small, the band played their hearts out. Maybe it's due to the intimate nature of Fredrik's music, but I felt like I was hanging out ...

I am a big supporter of Sweden's electro pop duo The LK, but it was definitely a surprise to know that Fredrik is a side project of the two. Fredrik has lush rhythms and poignant pop vocals much like The LK, but without the heavy use of electronics. Fredrik takes them out of the city [...]

Fredrik - 1986 from The Kora Records on Vimeo . Fredrik is an awesome experimental pop group from Sweden. Sometimes the word "experimental" means that only the people who created it can understand and appreciate it. That's not the case with Fredrik. Their music has the kind of soothing melodies that I've come to expect out of new Swedish groups. Fredrik - Black Fur PigeonsandPlanes

If you haven't checked out Sweden's Fredrik (they just played a free show at the Metro Gallery here in town and we posted a review of them here) then shame on you. Luckily they've just released a new video for the sweet song "11 Years" to get you in the know. The video was directed [...]

Earlier this year we shined a light Swedish pop outfit the LK and their electro lovely, wintry gem "Stop Being Perfect ." Had we known the band had a side project sooner, you probably would have written sooner. Instead, we came upon Fredrik de novo, clicking and listening to a few tracks on a whim, finding songs that have since lodged themselves into steady and heavy rotation. At its inceptio...

Frederik, yet another musically gifted Swede brings us tunes we love. Na Na Ni varies from quiet, dark and pretty instrumentals to more pop-ish songs with quirky lyrics--he does them both well. And for that very reason, this December, whether on bus, train or subway, Frederik was always in my headphones, never leaving my side. The album varies from quiet, dark and pretty instrumentals to more ...
