Svaneborg Kardyb is Nikolaj Svaneborg (Wurlitzer, Juno, piano) and Jonas Kardyb (drums, percussion) are an award-winning duo from Denmark who have excelled with crisp Scandinavian jazz and minimalist grooves in beautiful harmony since 2019.

Svaneborg Kardyb originates from Aalborg in North Jutland, where they first met in 2013 and already discussed the idea of starting a duo. It would take six years before the project was realized. Svaneborg Kardyb is a duo that is a format that gives them a lot of space to fill out or leave empty:

"We enjoy the minimalism and the focus it provides to the interaction. We come from quite different musical backgrounds, Nikolaj from Scandinavian jazz and Jonas from roots, blues, and folk, so our music is like the sum of our personal contributions. It does not try to be more than that. It is quite unique to be able to share this musical language and friendship."

With sources of inspiration like Nils Frahm, Esbjörn Svensson, and Jan Johansson's masterpiece. Jazz På Svenska, is your music an exquisite and delightful fusion of beautiful melodies, delicate minimalism, catchy grooves, and subtle electronic vibes, Nordic atmosphere and organic interplay - all underscored by an unabashed desire to play together.

After the release of the duo's first albums, Knob from 2019 and Haven from 2020, followed in 2022 the duo's third album Over Tage who also marked their debut release with Gondwana Records; a label known for hosting names like Mammal Hands, Portico Quartet, and GoGo Penguin, whose music, like Svaneborg Kardyb, seeks to explore the uncharted space between genres.
