Recorded at Fylkingen, in Stockholm, Sweden, on March 12th, 2021, by John Chantler.
"The first release on a new imprint from the venerable Swedish organisation FRIM (Association For Free Improvised Music, extant since 1976) is a gnarly performance taped at Fylkingen right before the pandemic in March of 2020. It's a free-blowing session marked by visceral friction and tension, a la Mats Gustafsson working with Zu.
Saxophonist Elin Forkelid has emerged as a genuine force in Swedish free music, especially through her work in Anna Högberg Attack!, and here she's met head-on by electric bassist Gustaf Hielm, a veteran figure in prog-rock and metal (Mats/Morgan Band, Meshuggah) who toggles between guitar-like leads and detuned rumbles. The secret weapon ends up being drummer Erik Carlsson - known for his new music work with Magnus Granberg as well as post-bop playing in Festen - who deftly bridges those extremes, stoking fury here, cooling things down there."-Peter Margasak, The Quetus

 | Agnas, Kasper Grain Live (FRIM Records) |
| Three live guitar improvisations from Swedish guitarist Kasper Agnas performing at Stockholm's New Music and Intermedia Art venue Fylkingen, each piece uniquely approached, starting with a lap guitar dulcimer-like approach of rapid rhythmic attacks, to a warm sound world using mallets on the guitar neck, and finally a work of decaying chords that evolve in complexity, strength and skew. | |

 | Hellgren, My / Peter Soderberg Plucked and Bowed (FRIM Records) |
| The literal album title belies the subtle interplay between Swedish improvisers, cellist My Hellgren and Peter Söderberg, the latter known for his work on classical lute but here on guitar, oud and theorbo (a long-necked lute that adds additional bass notes), recording an extended, warmly beautiful and intricate acoustic dialog of gentle tension and masterful skill. | |
 | Zethson, Alex Ensemble Some Of Them Were Never Unprepared [VINYL] (thanatosis produktion) |
| Exploring how a composition can provide a sense of weightlessness, and influenced by the music of gamelan, krautrock, Tony Conrad & Arnold Dreyblatt, composer Alex Zethson structured these works to influence the 13 performers in his ensemble into a state of intense focus and listening as they strike, bow and pluck their instruments, creating an ecstatic sense of infinite motion. | |
 | Granberg, Magnus and Skogen How Lonely Sits the City? (Another Timbre) |
| Composer and pianist Magnus Granberg developed this delicately introspective work as a collaboration between his Skogen ensemble and cellist Leo Svensson Sander & harpist Stina Hellberg Agback, concerning the development of art in times of crisis, using Messiaen's "Quatuor pour la fin de temps" (Quartet for the End of Time) as a basis, and brought into focus by actual pandemic. | |
 | Forsgren, Joakim / Andreas Hiroui Larsson featuring David Lackner Vending Machine (thanatosis produktion) |
| Sound and visual installation artists Joakim Forsgren and Andreas Hiroui Larsson use a multiplicity of approaches, both rhythmic and abstract, and a vast set of instruments (flutes, bass, drum machines, saxophone, maracas, sythesizer, &c) and objects (kitchenware, nails in a box, aluminum foil, &c) to create a universe of quirky and embraceable song-like structures. | |
 | Bothen, Christer Ambrosia [3 CD BOX SET] (thanatosis produktion) |
| Swedish contrabass clarinetist Christ Bothen in six extended works, the first and third disks a series of solo works using incredible technique and concentration, the 2nd disc a large work in an ensemble with fellow deep reedists Hans Koch & Per Texas Johansson, double bassist Vilhelm Bromander, pianists Kristine Scholz & Tisha Mukarji, and a spectral narrative from Sofia Jernberg. | |
 | Kuchen, Martin Det Forsvunnas Namn [VINYL] (thanatosis produktion) |
| Using baritone and alto saxophones, speakers and an iPod, Swedish improviser Martin Kuchen (Angles, Exploding Customer, UNSK, Looper, &c) takes his listeners on a demented tour of extended technique and curiously unexpected sounds from the saxophone, focusing on textures and non-abrasive approaches to create an abundance of unexpected and oddly engaging, concise improvisations. | |
 | J/L Duo + Adrian Knight and Frew Elfineh Taha Ismalfa [VINYL] (thanatosis produktion) |
| A cohesive suite in eight parts on dynamics, tone and vocal narration in acoustic jazz from the joining of the 20+ year Swedish duo project J/L Duo of saxophonist Johan Jutterstrom and drummer/percussionist Andreas Hiroui Larsson, Brooklyn-based pianist Adrian Knight and vocalist/lyricist Frew Elfineh Taha (also known under the moniker Black Fist). | |
 | Forsberg, Marta TKAC [VINYL] (thanatosis produktion) |
| Tkać means to weave, as Swedish electroacoustic sound artist Marta Forsberg interwines drones, first through a work of sound and light using frozen and processed violin sounds that slowly shift in minimal repetition; then in a synthetic work exploring darkness, light and colour by means of LED light, fabric, sequins, and minimalistic drone-based electronic music. | |
 | Granberg, Magnus / Skogen Let Pass My Weary Guiltless Ghost (Another Timbre) |
| First performed in November 2019 at the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival and then at the Splitter Orchester festival in Berlin, this studio recording of Magnus Granberg's delicately complex and exquisitely dream-like composition features his Skogen ensemble, including Granberg, Rhodri Davies, Toshimaru Nakamura, Erik Carlsson, Petter Wastberg, &c. | |
 | Granberg, Magnus / Skogen Nun, es wird nicht weit mehr gehn (Another Timbre) |
| Composer Magnus Granberg took influences from Schubert's song cycle "Die Winterreise", extracting tonal material, which he merged with rhythmic influences from medieval English folk music and a song by Dowland, merging them into a temporal framework for this large and subtle composition, executed by a setpet including Angharad Davies, Erik Carlsson, Henrik Olsson, d'incise, &c. | |
