About Me

Jakob Winnberg has been making music by himself and in various group constellations since the mid-80s. Högsbo Aviation emerged in 1999.

2004 saw the online release of the first Högsbo album, I'd Bet My Hands On It.

Currently available is the online version of the Double Aspect album. See our webpage!

Högsbo are currently working on two other albums, Kick Ass Laundromat and Memorable Hairdo Disasters, as well as an EP version of the recalled 2005 album, Space Age Reject. But mainly on all sorts of disparate ideas. Pure inspiration!

Högsbo Aviation are also interested in collaborating with, and remixing, other artists. Send us a message!
