Mossebacke Freedomsingers

About Me


MOSSEBACKE FREEDOMSINGERS was formed in November 2001 in Gothenburg (GBG), Sweden and was at that point a local phenomen but is today in full bloom in its international phase. The band is the root of the project and during the years different musicians and artists has boarded and left the well carpented MOSSEBACKE-ship. The latest artists to join in are the three french freelancing cabaret singers; Michelle Retard, Jeantelle Bastarde and Pierre Fourneté. They have all been very helpfull to create a fine and generous atmosphere around the recording of the charity CD-single "ARRETE" that is our help to the activists around the world fighting bestiality (sex with animals).

"The brilliant international music association MOSSEBACKE FREEDOMSINGERS started out their creative art and music business in late 2001. When I first got the pleasure to meet this ultra productive ensemble in one of the last smoking compartments of the swedish govermental railways in november that year I really didn..t know how to handle their spontanious outbursts of singing in parts and their curiosity for the differences in human cultures and manners. But later .. months of musical exchange and philosophic discussions (who sometimes could be really harch and almost violent) I finally got to the core and essence of MOSSEBACKE FREEDOMSINGERS and since then I have followed them closely and I would not exaggerate if I say they are all very close friends and some kind of mentors for me both musicaly and philosophicaly. At that early stage of the MOSSEBACKE FREEDOMSINGERS production the main focus lyricaly was on the mysterious Mossebacke (traditional folklore figure in the areas around Gothenburg) but now as we write 2007 the project has evolved and is now concerning more contemporary reality based subjects such as the antibestiality protest song "Arrete" wich they made together with Pierre Fourneté..."

Music is an art, not something you produce in a haste
Music is not something you just make because you play an instrument or have a lovely voice. It should not be a product just based on some lyrics that one person think is important for the rest of the world to hear or read. Neither is music an art that should be made in a hurry.
Today there is too much music and bands and artist release album after album. We suggest there would be a limit, every band that exists today should not be able to release more than two full-length albums. Music is something you must combine with the spirit inside the group and every word in the lyrics should be analysed and reconsidered. -Have these words been used before? -In what historical context did they first appear? -How does this era effect our world today and what other words might this new words have replaced? Bands that produce a lot of albums put too much pressure on other bands which follow the true art of musicproductions. If you make it the right way an album will (and must) take about ten years before its finnished and ready for the stores. Mossebacke Freedomsingers have made two complete songs in six years. Our fans are screaming for the third "Grossemutter klagen nicht". But as we have said by this blog, our art is something we take real serious and it takes time to make true music. The germans visited us in june and during that gathering we discussed the essence of the words in the lyrics for three whole days. We also visited randomly thirteen grandmothers in the city and studied them in a scenario where we made it quite uncomfortably for them and recorded them while they were complaining (klagen) about cold coffee, opens windows, the TV that we had put on highest volume or the youth of today (we agree). This is just a small insight in what it takes to start produce one single song.
We hope we can inspire you all in our way of musicproduction. If you have any questions or comments feel free to write a line. Love MBFS...

..5 April 2008 MBFS Headquarter
In these stressfull times in wich the modern humans of the developed world dwell the reasons for taking care of yourself in terms of digestion and think about what and when you eat (and don..t and not) is more important than ever. Too many are the members of the broad collective known as mankind who through the years have proven that directional corrections from well educated pharmacists and expertise on the digestion subject can never be to many. Thats why we, THE INTERNATIONAL MOSSEBACKEFREEDOMSINGERS, from now on are storming in on the scene of debates on nutrition and common health with with a new musical creation, MACKUS JORMUS PALATS (The Palace of Jorma-Sandwich) with lyrics worked thoroughly by using strong rollmodel caracters mixed with expressions known from the fashion industry to produce an image for a new generation of healthy people to look up to. Using strong caracters as "the mother" who fed us all (almost) our first lunch ever mixed with exemplyfying good food and "new shoes" as a symbol for fashion we wish to point out that nutricion can be "hip". And the authority that lies in the word "palace" should not need to be written down for different humans to understand. If someone in a palace makes a lunch that is based on knowledge from stone cold facts from research in digestion and nutricion it just has to be good!! So let us now hope that our patient fans listen carefully and read between the lines in this new MOSSEBBACKE release... With Love and for a better HEALTH/MBFS

MACKUS JORMUS PALATS

Vad har du i korgen mor?
- Jo, Jormamackor och nya skor
Vart ska du med denna dyrbara last?
- Jo, till Mackus Jormus vackra palats
Var finner du det kära mor?
- Jo, där innovatörer av mackor bor
I MACKUS JORMUS PALATS
är stekspaden av stål
och aldrig av plast
I MACKUS JORMUS PALATS
att steka i olja
med ägg som får plats
i smörgåsbasens hål
så var ej med osten snål
I MACKUS JORMUS PALATS

...translation by Anders B (only english)
THE PALACE OF JORMA-SANDWICH
Do you got Jorma-sandwiches in the basket mother?
- Yes, and also new shoes
Are you going to the Palace of Jorma-sandwich with them?
- Yes, and they are valuable
Where is the Palace located mother?
- It is where they live who make nutritious sandwiches in new ways
IN THE PALACE OF JORMA-SANDWICH
they got all the right tools
IN THE PALACE OF JORMA-SANDWICH
fry the best ingridients in a olive oil
if there is a hole in the sandwich fill it with cheese
IN THE PALACE OF JORMA-SANDWICH

THE SECRET ARMY OF MOSSEBACKE

Hey Mosseback can you hear my call
yes its true we will follow you all
we walk here as your robbers gang
and we follow you to unknown land

IN THE SECRET ARMY OF MOSSEBACKE
IT IS FUN TO BE ALOUD TO BE

You walk there on the street you look so fine
everyone agrees now; you are not a swine
we shall help you to fight your war
we shall stretch and bend and I..m gonna be very agile

IN THE SECRET ARMY OF MOSSEBACKE
IT IS FUN TO BE ALOUD TO BE

Weather if you want to or not
we..ll follow you, we..ll follow you
because you are the leader of the urban guerilla
and we are the soldiers
almost like your kids

IN THE SECRET ARMY OF MOSSEBACKE
IT IS FUN TO BE ALOUD TO BE

Now we finally managed to give you the classic song "Mossebackes Hemliga Armé" (The Secret Army of Mossebacke) from 2001. This was recorded before we turned in to the International era... and it maybe seems kind of native for you fans from abrod but Torsten have promised to put up an translation (in english anyway)here on myspace soon. But as you all maybe allready figured out its all about the Mossebackian theory of urban warfare...
Sounds Like:
