Video of the Day: Svaneborg Kardyb share video for new single ‘Cycles’ from forthcoming new album Superkilen

The beguiling Danish duo Svaneborg Kardyb – a.k.a. Nikolaj Svaneborg (keyboards) and Jonas Kardyb (drums) – are set to return this autumn with their eagerly anticipated new album Superkilen, which is released on 18 October via Matthew Halsall’s Gondwana Records imprint. Drawing on their recent touring experiences after the breakthrough of their Gondwana debut, Over Tage, and their NPR Tiny Desk session (that’s had nearly 700,000 views). The pair have played festival where crowds have danced wildly during their set’s more frenetic moments, and channelled these feelings, as well as the darker aspects of life of life in the 21^st century into the new music on their fourth LP.

The new album Superkilen is named after a public park in the ethnically diverse Nørrebro district of Copenhagen. This erstwhile strip of waste ground was repurposed by the Superflex art group in the early 2010’s to bring together immigrants and locals in a mood of tolerance and unity. Its title is intended to be emblematic of their music, which according to the band creates “creates space and serenity as a tonic within the tense and cluttered environment of 2020’s living”.

In the same way that the regeneration project has transformed that neighbourhood, Svaneborg Kardyb have drawn on that positive energy to help instigate changes in their own music.
