The Swedish trio FOUR! consisting of Mats Gustafsson, Johan Berthling and Andreas Werliin has created a special place for itself in the music world.

Their music is heavy, dark and intensely fiery, and whether you decide to call the genre jazz or rock, the music has taken them on tours around Europe, the USA, Canada, Brazil and Japan.

They have collaborated with heavyweights such as Jim O'Rourke, Oren Ambarchi, Stephen O'Malley and David Sandström to name a few.

The band was put together by Conny Lindström when he had to put together a program for a bar in Stockholm. Since Mats, Johan and Andreas were among Lindström's favorite musicians, he had the idea that the three artists together could create magic. The bar staff had to hold the glasses in the racks for fear that they would break due to the high volume produced by the newborn trio.

The group decided to continue the collaboration and released their first album. You Liked Me Five Minutes Ago the same year on the Norwegian record label Rune Grammofon, which has been responsible for all their releases, including their latest album Will as well as everything from their side project, the big band FIRE! Orchestra.

Their latest album Will takes them back to basics; just a trio with saxophone, bass and drums. Paired with a raw and powerful recording by the master himself, Steve Albini, this record is one of their most critically acclaimed.

Kristian Poulsen (guitar) and Mads Forsby (drums) play music where a kind of pseudo-gamelan, indefinably ethnic, no wave and free improvisation are mixed into a coherent soundscape. The sound is hazy and patient, repetitive and attentive, lingering in states and elastic rhythms that push the interaction to new places.

Kristian Poulsen and Mads Forsby, together with Lars Greve, released the LP Blunder on the Copenhagen label År & Dag in 2019.
