Fritid was interviewed by GAFFA. They talked about drinking the bin juice with racoons, malls in Massachusetts and trust.

We've included some excerpts here, but you can read the whole shebang on their site (Danish-language, paywalled). Link here: https://gaffa.dk/artikler/2024/april/fritid-interview-det-her-er-ikke-bare-hoppeborgen-det-er-hele-f**king-legelandet/

BADP008 FRITID MÅ GERNE
Fritid's debut Plads Til Hinanden is out on streaming and cassette today!

Want to listen? https://fritid.lnk.to/plads
Or buy? https://badp.bandcamp.com/album/plads-til-hinanden

These 9 Danish-language cuts spring from internet collaborations between Emil Johannessen (Zar Paulo ) and Mads Morville ( Håb, Kornskyldvej).

It's recycled .wavs from digital trash bins emptied onto the floor. An old dictaphone recording, vocals from an old walkie-talkie, WWE-chants salvaged from the internet.

Sometimes it sounds like pop, sometimes it glitches out before returning to normal, oftentimes there's a bass drum. Sometimes it almost sounds like pop, but mostly it's just happy to say its mantra: FRITID MÅ GERNE (Fritid Is Allowed To)

Plads Til Hinanden is out through Bad Posture and

Fritid is a bouncy castle for restored .wavs from the digital recycling bin. BOOUNCY!!

Fritid is also two people engaging in respectively the least experimental and most experimental thing they've ever done. It's also a pinky-promise. And also a friendship. And also a place where you can nap.

Fritid is Emil Vammen (Zar Paulo) and Mads Morville (co-prod. Mike Håb, prod. Kylian, also 1/2 of Bad Posture). Their debut album PLADS TIL HINANDEN is out April 5th on Bad Posture as BADP008

says (Danish, translation at bottom)
"Det er mærkeligt fordi det både sker nu og også føles som om det allerede er ovre. Men her er det så, Længselsfuld For Evigt. Det handler om mange ting, men bl.a. handler det om at sidde ned ved vandet og kigge over på den anden side."

Thank you to Koda Kultur for financially supporting this release

Translation (english):
"It's weird because it's both happening right and now and it also already feels like it's over. But here it is: Længselsfuld For Evigt. It's about many things, but one of the things it's about is sitting down by the water and looking across to the other side."
