Saralunden is musician and artist Sara Lundén. Her musical output draws its influences from genres such as disco, schlager music, chanson, electronica and minimal wave. On her new album, HMS Plays Saralunden (Shiny Ass Records), made in collaboration with musician and film maker Henry Moore Selder, the darker synth-based sound gives way to a more summery feel influenced by latin, pop and psychedelia. The album is produced and arranged by Selder and contributing artists are, among others, Goran Kajfeš and Jimi Tenor.

Rock Out is a duo consisting of Henry Moore Selder on turntable and Niklas Korsell on drums – occasionally joined by Ida Lundén on keyboard. It is enticing improvised music somewhere in between free form jazz and punk. They are currently working on completing their second album in collaboration with Kalligrammofon.

Kalligrammofon is a label for pop music, experimental music and experimental pop music. Established in 2006 and based in Malmö, with a catalogue including works by e.g. Testbild!, Death And Vanilla and Viktor Sjöberg.

In 2013, Stockholm-based Most Valuable Players released their second album Left on Kalligrammofon. An album on which they stepped away from their lo-fi roots and moved closer to a phase of perfectionist pop, similar to that of Prefab Sprout or Everything but the Girl. Since then, the group, led by the brothers Hugo and Ivar Lavett, has been digging in the archives and released no less than two compilation cassette tapes on the high quality label Zeon Light.

Jonas Fust was born in 1988 and lives in Malmö. His musical expression has its methodological and aestethic roots in hip hop and dub, and contains experimental rhythms, harmonies and soulful voice arrangements. This is the bittersweet disco pop of the future, a dream state that catches the unordinarity of everyday life.

Kalligrammofon is a label for pop music, experimental music and experimental pop music. Established in 2006 and based in Malmö with a catalogue that includes works by Testbild!, Death And Vanilla, V. Sjöberg New Jazz Ensemble and others.

Through cinematic instrumentalism, Lymland creates music that seem both timeless and contemporary. After their debut album Ensamtidsroman from 2012 the tunes have become longer, the courage to experiment stronger and the emotions deeper, while everything is still performed with light subtlety. The result is a futuristic playfullness with nostalgic undertones.

The music on the new album Rymdar has no lyrics. It is created with a sketchiness and simplicity that gives space for the listeners to create their own stories, based on the poetic song titles.

Lymland is Sonja Perander and Jerker Kaj. At KRETS they are accompanied by Jens Löfkvist on trumpet.

In February, Malmö-/Stockholm-based pop group Testbild! will release their new album Belka & Strelka on Kalligrammofon. Testbild! are known for a number of conceptual albums, where melodic and cinematic pop is blended with influences from 60’s jazz and avant-garde excursions in sound. Belka & Strelka is no exception, but stands out in their discography as an album on which the electronic elements, especially the use of analogue synths, takes a more prominent position. No guitars were used on the recordings.

During the evening we will premiere a short film by Sebastian Rozenberg. The conceptual pop duo The Marble Fauns will pay a visit from Gothenburg, and Testbild! will also perform a short live set.
