On the back of single releases "Garbo, Astrid & Taube " and ”Diamant”, Lorentz & Sakarias played their first shows in over two years this past Autumn. On November 9 they released their long awaited new album which is the follow up to the critically acclaimed, gold-selling “Vi mot världen” which came out in 2009. The first single “Garbo, Astrid & Taube” featured a guest appearance from Duvcho and was produced by Vito Grosso alongside Lorentz & Sakarias themselves and was subsequently A-listed on P3.
Lorentz & Sakarias officially started life as a band in 2007, but in reality they had been working on lyrics together since the tail end of the 90s. Starting out with mixtapes the band quickly picked up fans with their debut “Vi mot världen” coming in 2009. The record was an unqualified success and featured guest appearances from the likes of Marit Bergman, Parken, Newkid. The record hailed in some quarters as the future of Swedish music; “This is fresh. Everyone loves it.” said Vice magazine of the release. The album went gold with the two singles eventually going on to sell double platinum. The band toured the record heavily including dates at most of the major festivals including Arvikafestivalen, Hultsfredsfestivalen, Putte i Parken, Storsjöyran and Piteå Dansar & Ler. The band have been nominated for several Sweish Grammys P3 gold and one Rockbjörn gong as well as numerous other awards.
