Solen plays pop music. The music smells of 90s pop music and does not try to cheer anyone up. There’s not much to say about Solen than it’s the sound of indifference. Four 20ish-year old men living in Stockholm, not knowing what they want to do with their lives. The members are all ex-jazzmusicians who got tired of playing jazz and on arty clubs and wanted to do the opposite. Well they didn’t really want anything at all but they had to try something else. And the result is Solen. Fuck it.
They have played at every single club/venue in Stockholm in a two years period. This Summer they held an illegal concert (Solen as the only band) under a bridge in Stockholm and more than 800 people came. I think that says a lot of how popular we are in Stockholm.
They have recorded two albums and one EP in Dubious Studios (Moneybrother, Håkan Hellström, Markus Krunegård, Those Dancing Days, etc). The second album “Ossians sånger” is being mixed as we speak by Max Måns Wikman (Those Dancing Days etc).
