Arv & Miljö

The LP comes with a 12-page booklet telling the story of Arv & Miljö through 27 releases and 18 shows. Mastered by Lasse Marhaug.

The final album from Arv & Miljö consists of two sidelong pieces based almost entirely on field recordings. The recordings roughly span from 2014 to 2024 and were primarily recorded in Gothenburg, capturing life-affirming moments from an intense decade through snippets from endless summer nights out, great people desperately wanting more from life, hazy underground culture encounters and just random, confusing everyday nonsense that somehow still has its place here. The coarse but often profound vibes of a working class port city might run through it all but it’s an album about friendship, getting older and DIY culture more than anything else. While indeed abstract in its approach, the album is still strangely musical as a huge chunk of the sounds comes from people playing and singing in the streets and bars, songs being blasted from car windows, random sing-alongs and the general mess the drunken battle about the aux cord usually results in. The album sort of functions as an epilogue to everything that was Arv & Miljö – a restless and cacophonic but somewhat beautiful mess. Thanks for listening.
