ORIGAMI tour is over. With nearly half of the shows sold out and every single smuggled gram of LP passed over the merch table, we’d above all like to thank YOU, dear friends, infidels and spreaders of the FRDRK howl. On a shared first place, we’d also like to thank René, our beloved navigator, helper and close friend. Thank you for braving the Slovak alps, curing our flu and enduring the ignorant a**hole bavarians at the restaurant who talked crap about “DDR-people” and “Russians”. Thank you also Golden Disko Ship, Jasmina Maschina, Les Insomnies, The Dope and Great Dynamo for playing with us. Keep up the great work and see you soon!
The harder the snow…

We are incredibly sorry to inform you that the great central-european snow storm blew over us today. Despite the fact that we started at 7AM, we weren’t even halfway to Warsaw when the evening came. We were REALLY looking forward to this show so we felt incredibly sad to have to cancel it and seek shelter. To all our friends in Warsaw – we hope to see you next time!

Thank you Germany! We’ve had a strange and absolutely stunning time so far. Think Arak, cosmic hearts, endless road construction and spinning factories and you get an idea. Tonight is Prague, continuing east. See you on the other side!

Farewell sunshine

Anna Moberg, multi-talent from some of the blackest woods of Scandinavia, is since july part of the F orchestra. Apart from voice, guitars and inverted sound machinery played using rectangular black and white buttons, she contributes a cosmic eye for photographic depiction, fabric sculptures and mad knowledge about ritual dance – among other things. Our first release as a three-piece, the new 7″ EP “ORIGAMI”, is pressing this very moment. More information later this week.
Annie’s story

Danny & Annie from StoryCorps on Vimeo.
We recently got included in the soundtrack for a series of animated short films. This one is about two incredible Brooklynites – one with terminal cancer – and the downright immaculate snippets of dialogue they build, all 100% documentary. Another one, Q&A, is about a 12 year old kid with asberger syndrome. We are usually suspicious about digital looking animation, but this stuff is incredible.

Two hungover, fairly close look-alikes performed 3 Fredrik songs on american National Public Radio (NPR) recently. Here’s the stuff.

The gate opens…

F: So, we meet again!
T: Uh… again?
F: I met you before. Only then you were kind of small, and made of a weird plastic that people thought was really neat and scifi in the early 90s.
T: Oh, that was my kid brother ceedee. I am elpee. And there’s actually two of me. For the price of one.
F: Word. And who’s paying?
T: Shut up.
F: Shut what?
T: I said shut up. Do you also ask how much rent they’re paying at the supermarket?! And the colour of your cab driver’s underwear?
F: I don’t really shop at supermarkets.
T: But do you like underwear?!
F: I … guess I do.
T: There you go.
F: …
L: Who made the neat metallic logos?
T: It’s silver silk screening, jerk. Frida and Elin at FEJC made them.
F: I like them.
T: “Like” them?
F: …
T: Do you know how much work went into making them?
F: No.
T: It’s all manual, bigot. Open your mouths. Both of you.
L: What, me too?
T: Keep still. I’m going to separate you from your tounges.
F: But you’re a record.
T: TWO records, hareng’s piss!!!
L: Wait a minute. If you’re that guy’s big brother, why were you born after him? The release is on sunday.
T: I said bigger, not older.
F: You are out of line, even for a record.
T: TWO!
L: But we like you, both of you, attitude and all.
T: Yeah, yeah. Get lost.
Closure/Continuation
Posted by Lindefelt | Filed under Nyheter
The Trilogi release tour has ended. After 4 weeks of non-stop touring, we’re finally packing up and heading back to our budding, awakening hometown. For closure, we’re giving a final performance on thursday (4/3) at Babel, the old church of Spångatan, Malmö. Our very good friends Skeppet will also be painting the walls with their towering clouds of casual, otherworldly bliss.
By the way, we will be posting tour photos and info about the Trilogi gatefold vinyl shortly.

This band rarely sleeps. The two of us and the past live constellation (Anja, Fred K, Jerker, Mikael) went up to Sweden’s darkest forest in february last year and recorded a short film with the Dutch new surrealist film maker Iris Piers. Here is a stripped-down version, featuring the album track and a large part of the snow-covered super8 images.
