Omikron is the new LP by the Swedish instrumental band VED, released by Höga Nord Rekords.
On record VED combine programmed beats, samples and electronic sounds with acoustic drums, bass, guitars and organ into an unpredictable soundtrack with elements of surf guitar music, free jazz and art rock. Strong melodic themes share space with atmospheric field recordings and samples such as the voice of hypnotist Milton Erickson, a car formerly owned by the Swedish king being chased by police, and the sound of neurons in an anesthetized cat’s brain.
OUT 25th of March!

Omikron är instrumentalrockbandet VEDs nya LP, släppt på Höga Nord Rekords
På skiva kombinerar VED programmerade rytmer, samplingar och elektroniska ljud med akustiska trummor, bas, gitarrer och orglar, och skapar ett oförutsägbart soundtrack med element från surf, frijazz och artrock. Starka melodier delar utrymme med atmosfäriska field recordings och samplingar såsom hypnotisören Milton Ericksons röst, en bil tidigare ägd av Sveriges konung jagad av polisen, samt ljudet av neuroner i en nedsövd katthjärna.
Lagom till att Ved i nuvarande inkarnation firar femårsjubileum invigs det efterlängtade Ved-museet på Jaktpaviljongen i Folket park, Malmö. Öppettider: 16–17 maj, kl. 15–19, samt 31 maj, kl. 15–19. Fri entré. Gillade du Abba-museet? Då kommer du att älska Ved-museet!
VED is currently working on new material that will materialize on a new full length album in September. There will also be a couple of odd songs appearing on compilations, as well a limited CD-r containing soundscapes edited from sound material collected during the tour in Central Asia last year. Also there are sketches for new 12 inch vinyl that might appear in a not so far away future. We are also in the midst of editing the music documentary capturing the Central Asian tour. Stay tuned for more details!
VED will perform some new songs (and maybe one or two oldies) at the wonderful Vitamin C club at Grand, Malmö, friday the 13th of March. Hope to see you! 2015 looks like an interesting VED year, with a couple of new releases coming up. Stay tuned.

Hej. Den 31 oktober drar Vi fram kostymerna igen och förvandlar oss till Kapten Matta och hans orientaliska ungdomspsykoser. Vi spelar en intensiv och kort konsert innan, den store Fela Kuti’s son, Seun Kuti med sitt Egypt 80 tar över scenen med sin afrobonanza. Det blir gött! Kom och lyssna!
