Tonbruket, a quartet of acclaimed Swedish musicians, captivates listeners with their latest single, ‘Hermetic Boogey.’ As the slow, steady bass sets the stage, a bluesy shuffle vibe takes hold, accompanied by haunting violins that infuse the track with an air of mystery. The overall tone is reminiscent of a David Lynch soundtrack, evoking a cool, noir-like atmosphere.
Comprising Dan Berglund (Esbjörn Svensson Trio), Martin Hederos (The Soundtrack of Our Lives), Johan Lindström (Elvis Costello, Rebecka Törnquist), and Andreas Werliin (Wildbirds and Peacedrums, Fire!), Tonbruket is no stranger to pushing the boundaries of modern jazz for over a decade. Their upcoming LP, ‘Dark Wood, Light Strings,’ marks a departure into uncharted territory. ‘Hermetic Boogey’ is an exploration of jazz and blues, characterized by its experimental, fusion, and smooth elements. The track exudes a sense of coolness, with a soft and chill vibe that will transport you into a musical noir world, reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Albatross.’
Tonbruket’s music transcends genre definitions, making it impossible to pigeonhole. The collective synergy of its members creates a sound world that is uniquely ‘Tonbruket.’ Dan Berglund’s bass, Martin Hederos’ keys and violin, Johan Lindström’s guitar and pedal steel, and Andreas Werliin’s drums come together to craft a sonic experience that defies convention.
With a history of Grammy wins and collaborations with artists like Ane Brun, Tonbruket’s artistic prowess is evident. Their debut album in 2010 marked the beginning of a journey that has earned them numerous accolades. Beyond their albums, they have also ventured into the world of theater music, contributing to plays staged at the Royal Dramatic Theater in Stockholm.
