Aksel & Aino

Aksel Friberg and Aino Collmar quickly discovered their shared passion for making music after meeting at Stockholm University in 2018. Aino sent Aksel some old recordings she had made, which ended up being their first release on Public Possession, a two-track EP called Fading Pictures. Elated by great reviews and the joy and ease of finding someone new to work with, the duo started writing new songs for a full length album. The longing vocals of Aino, set against classic 80s style synths an drum-machines merge into a unique melancholic version of Italo Pop that’s rooted way farther north in the Swedish captital’s cultural scene. The music is created in the duo’s Sloping Ground Studio in the suburban Kärrtorp area of Stockholm and their approach to making music is based on true partnership.
