Hailing from various backgrounds both musically and geographically, Swedish psych wonder MaidaVale have had the ability to capture audiences with their spirited energy ever since starting out on the Stockholm underground scenes a decade ago. The band combine neo-psychedelia and krautrock with influences ranging from post-punk, funkadelia and the North African blues.
With acclaimed debut “Tales of the Wicked West” (2016), they quickly took on big European rock scenes and festivals. More kraut influenced sophomore album “Madness is too Pure” (2018) confirmed the band’s place in the psych rock scene with its bold and experimental take on the genre, nominating them for the Swedish music prize P3 Guld in the rock category alongside acts like Graveyard.
On their forthcoming third album ‘Sun Dog’, working with producers Kalle Gustafsson Jerneholm and György Barocsai, MaidaVale paint with a larger, bolder and brighter color palette, immersing themselves more than ever into their unique take on neo-psychedelia.
