Bagland is a quintet consisting of five musicians, who all have their roots based in the Scandinavian sound.
The music is inspired by the deserted and open nordic landscape with lyrical and melancholic melodies characterizing the compositions. Furthermore, Bagland incorporates an electronic sound adding a playful and dynamic element to the music which contains both hope, happiness, longing, and melancholy.
NOMAD was released in 2016 and was a big part of band leader Jakob Sørensen being awarded the New Danish Jazz Act 2017.
