Jonas Abrahamsson + TUNGA DIVISIONEN

FREE ENTRY

Some artists arrive with a fixed formula. Jonas Abrahamsson seems more interested in what happens when a song is allowed to change direction halfway through. On 15 October, Abrahamsson comes to Inkonst to perform music from BIG LOVE, his debut album released earlier this year. The record introduces a songwriter with a restless approach to form and a clear commitment to following ideas wherever they lead. What begins as an intimate song can gradually open into something larger, brighter or stranger, always guided by curiosity rather than convention. For many in the extended Inkonst and Intonal orbit, Abrahamsson is already a familiar face as the wild-eyed drummer of Vanligt Folk, known for turning serving trays, his own skull and whatever else happens to be nearby into percussion instruments. BIG LOVE places songwriting at the centre of the picture, while retaining the unpredictability, humour and emotional directness that have long defined his performances. Drawing from pop, indie and rock traditions, the songs leave room for spontaneity, unexpected turns and linguistic play, with Abrahamsson often moving between multiple languages during a set. Opening the evening are local heroes TUNGA DIVISIONEN. Formed in a rehearsal room on the outskirts of Malmö, the group has built a reputation for energetic live performances and a playful approach to songwriting. Their music combines elements of indie pop, funk and soul into a sound that feels distinctly their own.

RIYL: Arthur Russell, Alice Boman, The Shins, Bob Hund, Muse, Erkan Oğur, Lill-Babs
