Pocketful is a band from Gothenburg, Sweden. In 2002 the trio emerged from the ashes of a long gone Swedish band. Three years later the debut CD, “Sparkling”, was released by a French label. In 2008 the band made a strong comeback with the 4-track ep, “A Sparrow’s Mind”, their first Ovanbeck release. Yet another ep, “Ambiguous Signs”, came out in February 2009. Later that year, the band released a download version of “Sparkling” – entitled “Sparkling Revisited” – featuring the band’s favourite tunes from the debut.

The music of Pocketful is characterized by strong melodies, ambient textures, crisp guitars and groovy beats.It’s a musical landscape full of contrasts – acoustic and electronic elements combine, monotony interferes with variation, and brutality meets beauty.  The unique Pocketful music compositions are created and performed by musicians Jerker Rellmark (vocals, keyboards and trumpet) and Johan Engström (guitars and keyboards), together with lyricist Joakim Gralén.

Singer, Songwriter & Pianist Helen Gustafson finally returns to her first love...music.

Over a timespan of more than 26 years vidnaObmana, Fear Falls Burning and Microphonics have become Dirk Serries' personal triptych in analysing, dissecting, creating and processing sound. From the early industrial, the minimal synth ambient, the genre-splicing tribal fusion, the overpowering guitardrones to the pure, straightforward and minimal guitarambience. The perfect closure on his alter-ego's vidnaObmana and Fear Falls Burning completes the trilogy. A tryptich that has come full circle with re-enactment of his passion for the pure, minimal and beautiful.

Most of the music I make is dark and ambient.

Making music. Mixer and trixer at @ovanbeck. Time is of the essence. Still life in a world of tweed, sandalwood, and patch cables.
