• Perfect chillout music for stressfree moments
• AKB is one of the few female artists in the electronic music world
• Debut single from an upcoming star in the ambient genre

AKB (Anna-Karin Berglund) goes solo and makes a musical U-turn with her debut EP ‘Söndagsbarn’. The last 10 years, AKB has been touring the world with bands Twiggy Frostbite and The Deer Tracks, but now she has replaced the pop music with spacey ambient. AKBs hometown Gävle city has for decades had a very strong electronica and sound art scene, something that obviously inspires the entire city's musical life, even AKB, so the step into the cosmic sound world is a natural extension of her music career. The four tracks on ‘Söndagsbarn’ has clear influences from the 70’s/80’s ambient artists, such as Klaus Schulze and Michael Stearns, but also more modern references like Markus Guentner and Loscil.

01 - Hervor

Unreleased track written and recorded for PUSH festival 2016, Gävle.

Tilt - AKB

The Door

Debut album, released on Lamour Records in February 2020

The majority of the tracks are recorded, produced and mixed in Gävle, Sweden between 2018 and 2019 and a few of them are resurrected treasures I thought was lost a long time ago. This album is a showdown with the stormy clouds of the past four years, followed by a sanative reconciliation.

Behind the name AKB resides instrumentalist Anna-Karin Berglund from Gävle, Sweden. Her debut album ”Marianergraven” is released on February 28th and it is her own take on the ambient genre, with melodies moving slowly, forming a menacingly areal atmosphere, where the soaring laments are able to float freely across the sonic panorama. 

The first release under her own name came in April 2016 on the EP Söndagsbarn (via Lamour Records), on which the four tracks carries clear influences from the 70-80’s ambient with its space-fragrant, cosmic soundscapes.
