Biography
'SWEDISH FAMILY - VINTAGE PROG'
Swedish Family is the all new Tomas Bodin project.
Tomas his previous albums 'An Ordinary Night', 'Pinup-Guru' and 'Sonic Boulevard' are all released on the Inside Out label. Swedish Family - Vintage Prog is released on his own label Helikon House.
At first it was meant to be just another Tomas Bodin album called Swedish Family.
However the project has changed a bit…. Swedish Family is not a title anymore…. it's a "band" …. or should we say a fake band.
The truth is that Swedish Family have never existed! That's a fact! But imagine if ….
Tomas invented the "band" as a band from the '70.
They where very big, very important to other bands and very non-sexy guys playing.
You will hear the same vintage sound as the old Swedish prog bands used to have.
Instruments like Minimoog, Accordion, Rhodes, Hammond, Guitar with fuzzbox and phaser.
What about the songs?
Well, like all Swedish bands during the '70, Swedish Family also mixed the music between folk music, rock and jazz.
You can compare it with bands like 'Kebenekajse', 'Hansson & Carlsson', 'Fläsket Brinner'.
On "Vintage Prog" you'll find the same kind of roots.
Also on this CD there is no such thing as 'click track' or 'computer quantized' music.
Swedish Family is more about a 'warm live touch'.
