Making tunes instead of playing video games since 2001

###LISTEN TO THE WHOLE DEBUT ALBUM AT SPOTIFY###
Salma Gandhi makes pataphysical instrumental stoner jazz/film noir rock/psychadelia in their own obscure and cunning way. The soundscapes that are painted canvas are by turns welcoming, confusing and sometimes directly obnoxious but the captivating feeling that makes you want to explore further is by your side during the entire journey.

The members of Salma Gandhi has through the years been spotted in different constellations of punk, stoner, metal, blues and doom bands but have never gone the full distance. But since the band formed in 2005, everything has moved in the right direction and the more relaxed approach and attitude to how music should be created eventually led to a record deal with Transubstans Records.

Some voices about the debut "The Quest For Nonsense Never Ends":

"Worth checking out if you are in the mood for something completely different." and "The languid pace, space-blues
guitar, twinkling and vibrating keys…straight-faced as you can get, and still mischievous." and "Dit debuut van Salma
Gandhi is gewoon topmateriaal, dat eigenlijk meer verdient dan enkel een doorbraak op Europees vlak"

”...it is revolutionary and constantly surprising, cleverly distinctive but still not overloaded. Swedish music has never been as good as now”
-Nya Upplagan-

"Sometimes music emerges that manages to wedge itself into the cracks between all that has allready been done, in those tiny spaces that exists between the various manifestations of music. You recognise what you hear, but yet it surprices you and seems unfamiliar. The instrumental Salma Gandhi is one of those bands that claim the areas in the bordelands of music."
-Tidningen Kulturen- 

"It breathes late 60-s/early 70-s and more so through the cinematical feeling in the music
where it sometimes feels like I'm beeing drawen into different scenes from a hard-boiled detective story
with car chases, smoky nightclubs and drama"

"There are no rights or wrongs in the music of Salma Gandhi because
this is impro jazz for the rock lover and no rules or regulations
exist whatsoever."
