about
The word Kolonien derives from Latin “Colonia”, meaning the cultivator and breaker of new grounds. But in Sweden it’s a term for community gardening, often just outside the cities. A Koloni is a few square meters of land where urban people can grow some vegetables or flowers and create a sanctuary from city life. “This Koloni concept sums up what the band means to us very well. A sort of sacred space where we can let things grow, whether it’s music, conversations or ourselves. We’re trying to break new grounds musically and cultivating a new story to grow into.” Kolonien is a four piece family band consisting of the two brothers Erik and Arvid Rask, their cousin Anna Möller, and their only neighbour in the forest outside the small town Järna, Stockholm county; Mischa Grind (Fun fact: Mischa and Erik mixed blood as kids by cutting their hands and pressing them together and are therefore according to the viking tradition blood brothers.)
