Ankomst, a new wave of Swedish synthpop has landed
Ankomst
Here’s a band we hadn’t heard of, although they have been active for a while already, Ankomst. The Swedish Gothenburg-based synthpop / new wave duo, consisting of Jenny Palmé (vocals) and Mikael Lastin (music), released their debut album “Bortkopplad” (Disconnected) in 2023 followed by a remastered extended promo version “Bortkopplad 2.0” in 2024.
Their most recent output is the January released Colony 5 remix of the single “Dancing in Warsaw” which was originally released in December 2024.
Musically the band is rooted deep in the Swedish electropop scene. Fans of Elegant Machinery will definitely like this act.
Ankomst is currently booking live gigs in Europe, if interested, contact them via ankomstofficial@gmail.com. Last month the duo was the support act for China Crisis, at Hus7 (Slaktkyrkan) in Stockholm and last year they also supported Trans-X at Charles Dickens in Helsingborg.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
