Ljungblut - Vietnam is out today!

«Vietnam» is the sequel to the 2023 EP "Sauda", following in the same characteristic steps. Released in the same formats, bearing the theme of a particular place.

The sonic landscape is built up around Kim's intimate vocal, soft acoustic guitars, muffled pianos, oriental bells, mellow trumpets and tasty old Korgs, all handcrafted into a sincere and warm production of engineer and multi-instrumentalist Terje Johannesen.

Vietnam became significant for Kim and his travel companion Harald Rosenløw Eeg back in the 90s. The young backpackers made countless trips throughout that decade. Both for leisure and for composing. Kim with his lyrics and music, Harald with his many novels to come. They shared the same intensity. The same eagerness. The same infatuation with Vietnam.
Many years later they would end up going back.
To catch that spirit once again.
It had to be documented. Musically.

NEWS!
A new version of Lars Fredrik Frøislie's debut solo album titled "Quattro Racconti" will be out on Karisma Records October 24, 2025.
This time in Italian, with Stefano “Lupo” Galifi from the legendary Museo Rosenbach on vocals!

Frøislie who is himself a huge fan of Italian Prog in general and of Museo Rosenbach particular, explains:

“When I wrote “Et sted under himmelhvelvet”, I imagined an Italian version in my head with just STEFANO "LUPO" GALIFI'S vocals. Not so surprising, perhaps, since he is one of my my favourite vocalists. I have loved his slightly raspy, but powerful and soulful vocals, ever since I discovered MUSEO ROSENBACH as a teenager.

When the opportunity presented itself, I thought it couldn't hurt to ask him, and it gave me much joy that he was actually willing to sing on this. He brings a new dimension to the songs, and it’s incredible that he actually sings just as well today as he did 50 years ago.

For me, it was both emotional and surreal to hear a voice I have known and loved throughout much of my life, singing my songs.”

Lars Fredrik Frøislie - Quattro Racconti is now available to pre-order.

Out today! Ritual - The Hemulic Voluntary Band remastered version.

One of the absolute classics from the Swedish prog-rock scene, for the first time ever on vinyl.

The Hemulic Voluntary Band (2007) is the fourth studio album by Swedish progressive rock band Ritual. Its title references a fictional brass band from Tove Jansson’s Moomin universe, but the music leans more toward folk, symphonic rock, and '70s-style prog, resulting in a richly imaginative sound. Although not a concept album, it’s thematically tied by literary influences and a sense of childlike wonder. Drawing on Jansson's work, the lyrics explore imagination, nature, and the fantastical. Ritual’s songwriting focuses on storytelling and emotional depth, creating an immersive experience.
