Långbacka/Bådagård (SE)
Långbacka/Bådagård are Swedish singers and multi-instrumentalists Maja
Långbacka and Matilda Bådagård. Together they create music that they describe as
”pop with a folk soul”.
The duo has created quite a buzz in Sweden since the debut album WAKE US UP
was released last year, for their bold and unique blend of Swedish traditional folk
music and singer/songwriter-pop. Beside their strong, well hamonized voices and
traditional fiddle playing, they use live electronics, samplers and loop stations to
enhance their sound. From minimalistic arrangements with only handclaps and
voices or violins to big pop productions and cinematic landscapes.
In September 2019, Långbacka/Bådagård released their new song QUEEN, that
featured Pekko Käppi on jouhikko. The song is the first release from the duo’s
upcoming album, and the making of the song was covered by Swedish television
SVT.
