I don't know too much about this band, their from Sweden and make groovy Psychedelic Blues/Folk/Rock music, found out about them about two months ago and have been monitoring via Facebook and YouTube as they posted songs from their new album. Well now they have released their whole debut album "Vi i dalen" on bandcamp for 20 SEK ($2.8275) kick back, light one up and take a journey, see you on the other side.
Kompaniet is the shining and colorful flower that came from a seed that germinated for a long long time. In early 2011, Kompaniet started to look and sound like it does today - psychedelic gusts combined with blues and the unavoidable folk-ish style that simply is in our Swedish genes is what creates our sound. And on top of that, classic rock 'n roll. It can't get any better. Quite a selfish and impressive thing to say considering we've grown up with the jantelag, isn't it?
