KLINGRA
AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE ON SPECIAL LP / CD / DIGITAL ON OCTOBER 11TH 2019
★★★★★★ – Gaffa (DK)
“The music is solemn and absolutely beautiful. It moves in fascinating cycles, all contributing to the experience that everything is thought through, and that this is an absolute North Atlantic masterpiece – thanks to the strength of the compositions, the excellent texts…, the full orchestra management, the instrumental virtuosity and the otherwise excellent production.”
The wealth of expression ranges from quiet moments to anthemic eruptions, all arranged in good style and played in an almost graphic way. Simply fantastic!
About Afenginn
“A towering force in modern Nordic music” —fRoots
Chamber pop renegade Kim Nyberg, better known as Afenginn, writes in big, bold colors, in structures with symphonic ambition. Even at his most epic, however, he circles back to the earthy starting points, the odd meters and sonorous modes, the eccentric intensity, of his roots.
Nyberg, a Swedish-speaking Finn, grew up in a small town in southwestern Finland. When Nyberg decided to pursue music professionally, Copenhagen, with its lively scene, beckoned. There he started a Balkan brass-inspired, deviously clever party band with friends. They called their project Afenginn (both “strength” and “intoxication” in Old Norse). The group rose to local cult fandom and later to prominence, first on the Scandinavian and then the European folk and rock festival circuit. They played SXSW, toured North America and beyond.
