Minimalistic with a spherical expression in a unity of electronic and acoustic sounds
Svaneborg Kardyb’s album is the opposite of the fast, false world of social media and shallow ideals. The compositions are not flashy or driven by ego, they are simple, but very touching.
It is the delicacy of the playing, the natural affinity to melody and the exquisite interaction between Nikolaj Svaneborg and Jonas Kardyb that makes the album work."

I the autumn of 2020, the duo released their follow-up album Haven – an homage to nature. The music on Haven is created during the earliest hours in the morning, over the blackest coffee and is a minimalistic expression of electronic and acoustic sounds uniting, where catchy tunes meet Nordic vibes in a dreamy, groovy universe.
