Västkransen’s next release features Ella Guru, a new project from southern Stockholm by guitarist Tommy Galento (OK Star Orchestra, Galento Sound Service) and rhythm maker Daniel Strand (Bike Thieves). 

The two first met in the darker months of 2021 at a jam among friends. Before long, the duo continued the sessions making playful grooves on their own. The funky blend of balearic guitars, lazy strings, caustic bass lines and rich percussions that came to life in Galento’s studio are now available on their debut EP “No Strings Attached”. 

On top of the three original tracks, the release also features a remix from Basel’s Alma Negra, who transforms “No Strings Attached” into a tightly kept late-night funk groove.
