Bio for Sjöarna:
The musicians in Sjöarna all live in Årsta, Stockholm. They walk these streets everyday and drink their beers at Restaurang Hjälmaren (also named from a Swedish lake). For the release of the album they arranged a concert at Årsta Folkets Hus where they also showed videos of all the lakes that appear on the album. A silent breeze over Kolsnaren, white waves on Sandfjärden, warm summer sunray on Boren or still rain over Bråviken accompanied the concert.
The song Kolsnaren was used for a documentary about Swedish fishing gear company ABU Garcia. Other songs from the album was featured in the play Grodregn över Fruängen by Sara Giese, Stockholms Stadsteater 2013.
