Info for Botvid Grenlunds Park

Any new recording by Eric Malmberg and his unique group Sagor & Swing is cause for celebration. If I had a radio show, I’d be cueing up “Landet bortom landet Bortom” this very instant, and just waiting for the phone lines to light up. I might play it five times in a row.

'I was first drawn to Sagor & Swing by swirling modal melodies that make the Hammond organ sound like the earliest of musical instruments. On 'Botvid Grenlunds park', Eric’s Hammond gets wrapped up in spirited dialogues with its infinitely more bouncy, bubbly colleague the synthesizer, all in a mirror unexpectedly brightly. I still hear the solemn beauty of previous Sagor & Swing, but something else is beginning to boil.' (Pleasure sounds, David Grubbs, April 2013).

Eric Malmberg
is a musician from Sweden. Member of the duo Sagor & Swing, in 2005 he released his first solo album,"Den gåtfulla människan" ("The Enigmatic Human"). This is a modern artist who can be considered as a true successor of the German Berlin vintage electronic underground with obvious reminiscences from Kratwerk, Asmus Tietchens, late Cluster. Repetition, sound inovations and melancholic emotions are the best words to describe Malmberg's original musical universe. His first effort is largely made of strangely mesmersing & warm immersive organs punctuated by efficient minimal melodies, motifs (closed to Philip Glass and others accessible, popular minimalist artists), discreet repetitive hypnotic pulses.

This album contains no booklet.
