about
Villebråd was formed in Uppsala (Sweden) in late 2004 by brothers Erik and Påhl Sundström. The idea behind the project was to play comprehensive pop songs with a complex and experimental foundation. This ambition grew both from their multifaceted musical taste and the fact that they had been playing in such diverse genres as prog rock, metal and electronica for at least ten years before starting the band. They decided to try and write songs without genre based consideration, which resulted in the self-released 6-track ep simply called Villebråd in 2005. In 2006, multi instrumentalist David Hallberg joined the band, and they began working on a full length album. Villebråd soon gained interest from a couple of record labels to release their next effort, Alla är här utom jag, an album that sonically went deeper into both the 80’s new wave influences and the prog rock side of the band. They decided to sign with Swedish indie label Transubstans records, who released the album in early 2007.
During the summer of 2007, Villebråd joined forces with bassist Petter Broman and the quartet immediately began writing new songs, a process that ended with the completion of the album Ultrarapid (also released on Transubstans Records) in the summer of 2008. Lyrically Ultrarapid deals with themes of isolation and emotional numbness and with this recording they wanted to combine a strong, electronic pulse consisting of Petter and Eriks beat section and a cold, ethereal atmosphere created by layers of guitars, synthesizers and vocals.
The past two years the band has been working hard on the follow up: Ampersand. This new album sees the band switching from Swedish to English sung lyrics, with themes less introvert than before. Ampersand is definitely the bands most emotional and challenging recording to date.
