Splint!

Splint! gathers some of the finest musicians from the Scandinavian improvised music scene. Band founder Johannes Lundbergs vision before putting the group together in 2004 was to form a unit with perfect match both on an artistic and a personal level: good friends have all chances in the world to make good music. And have a lot of fun on the way too. A recording session took place in Lundbergs red cottage on the Swedish countryside outside Ulricehamn. A few intense days of playing, eating, drinking and discussing the meaning of life resulted in many hours of improvised music on hard disk. The post-production was a matter of carefully selecting which parts to use and scale them down to a format that would fit on a CD. In 2006 the band started performing live, touring Scandinavia.The debut album "Moro" is just released at the independent UK label Lampse. Reviews so far are positive:"Moro is a frenetic discourse of jazz gone wonky, and certainly an interesting shot in the arm for an ailing musical caste." George Bass at God Is In the TV (UK online cultural fanzine) "As they combine a classic acoustic vision with highly effective electronics, the quartet create here a piece of work which in turn excites, intrigues and fascinates." London Milk Blog" Een wonderschone geluidstrip. We want moro!" De Subjectivisten (Dutch cultural website)
