OH HIROSHIMA
Emerging from the particularly fertile Scandinavian post-rock scene, Oh Hiroshima has built a reputation by transforming introspection into vast, cinematic soundscapes. Over the past decade, the Swedish duo has refined a musical language that balances fragility with overwhelming emotional power.
Originally formed over 15 years ago, the current lineup of Oh Hiroshima consists of brothers Jakob Hemström (guitar/vocals) and Oskar Nilsson (drums). Since their debut in 2011, the band has released a series of critically acclaimed albums, gradually expanding their universe beyond their post-rock roots and establishing themselves on the international stage.
In 2026, Oh Hiroshima returns with And the Dead Tree Gives No Shelter, continuing their exploration of tension, atmosphere, and intensity, with a renewed desire to bring the full dimension of these tracks to the stage.

BARRENS
For fans of Mono, PG.LOST, Caspian, Mogwai, This Will Destroy You, Russian Circles, Pelican, Scraps Of Tape, God Is An Astronaut
The powerful post-rock trio from Gothenburg/Malmö, Barrens, returns with Corpse Lights, the group's second album following their critically acclaimed debut opus Penumbra in 2020.
The result of five years of work, Corpse Lights sees Barrens reach a striking balance between light and darkness, beauty and brutality, calm and chaos, as the three long-time friends further refine their impressive mastery of composition and dynamics.
Listening to Barrens, it becomes clear that Markku Hildén, Johan G. Winther, and Kenta Jansson had already played and toured together before forming the band. In 2018, Markku joined Scraps of Tape, Johan and Kenta's side project, as a live drummer for two European tours and a tour in China. Immediately recognizing an obvious chemistry, the foundations of what would become Barrens were sketched out in countless vans, trains, planes, and bars throughout their travels across the world.
Back home, the trio wasted no time and quickly turned their collection of notes and motifs into demos. The result was Penumbra, a dense, elegant, and passionate collection of synth-driven post-rock instrumental tracks, which felt nothing like a debut album from a newly formed band. Instead, Penumbra documents the birth of an indelible bond between three similar creative minds, now friends for life.
