Since the mid-2010s, Swedish band Les Big Byrd have played their way into the hearts of music fans both at home and abroad through their unique universe.

Les Big Byrd warms up under a musical lava lamp where space rock, hypnotising psychedelia and disciplined kraut melt away all boundaries. Their expansive space rock floats through galaxies of undeniable talent for unshakable choruses and melodies that tickle the inside of the cerebral cortex.

The band currently consists of members Jocke Åhlund, Frans Johansson, Nino Keller and Christian Olsson. The trio is in a good creative flow and this year, less than two years after the release of Eternal Light Brigade (2022), they have already followed up with their fourth album, Diamonds, Rhinestones and Hard Rain. It is perhaps their most dynamic, inspiring and complete album to date.

Les Big Byrd's kaleidoscopic facets are not only evident on their album, but they are also very noticeable when the band explodes into universal bliss on stage.

The band emphasised this when they played the South Ocean Festival in Malmö in July, where Swedish Gaffa gave their concert five out of six stars and wrote:

"In this decade and a half, Jocke Åhlund has lived out his most powerful fantasies, spinning all the way back to straight songs with strong melodies and now returning to psychedelic cosmic"
