BARK AT YOUR OWNER
Sofia Härdig
FFO: St Vincent, Patti Smith, Sharon von Etton, Anna Calvi, Nick Cave, PJ Harvey.
"A mixture of Patti Smith and Nick Cave, as if she were to "Dance barefoot" with Cave as backing vocals, I celebrate it. Her songs are dramatic and sorrowful pathos is not a dirty word here, and again and again the famous ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN come to mind, others names as Alan Vega and PJ Harvey. This has goth drama and proto-punk urgency, singer/songwriter finesse and pop sensibility – definitely worth discovering." OX Magazine Joachim Hiller

The mutual perception for the acoustic sound in the trio and our approach with dynamics have laid the foundation for my compositions, blending the classical and Nordic jazz influences together. Also, our mutual desire to musically go way out there when needed, gives a great boost for us to strive to develop new sounds and musical ideas.

CLOUDy
FFO: Tom Petty, K.Flay, Fever 333, Grandson, The Menzingers.
CLOUDy sings about the world of isolation, separation, division, mobbing, disinformation, fake-news where we lose our individualism, love for others while kidnapping free thinking. True freedom without the threat of being outcasted or killed or suppressed by what and who we love and who we believe or not believe in and breaking the chains of conservatism. Where creativity is a freedom is done by you not by AI, where human life is worth more than money, and where faith, sports and politics do not separate us or control us to kill each other when so many believe that my dirt is better than your dirt. This is a statement against fascism, control through lies and toxic manipulation and being controlled by any means.
