Expansive, fully improvised cosmic rock that drifts between pastoral beauty and heavy space-age intensity. Instrumental journeys for deep focus and late-night travel.
Listening to My Brother the Wind feels like watching a storm form in slow motion over a vast, uninhabited landscape. The music is entirely improvised, yet it possesses a startling sense of direction, moving from delicate, shimmering guitar interplay into heavy, thundering crescendos that never feel forced. It is warm, analog, and deeply immersive, carrying the DNA of 1970s Swedish prog into a modern, cosmic dimension.
What sets them apart is the telepathic connection between the musicians. Because there are no pre-written songs, the tracks breathe and evolve naturally. You can hear the guitars of Nicklas Barker and Mathias Danielsson weaving around each other, creating liquid textures that feel both ancient and futuristic. It is space rock that remains grounded in organic, earthy tones rather than cold digital synthesis.
Start with 'I Wash My Soul in the Stream of Infinity' for a masterclass in how improvised music can reach emotional heights. It is the perfect entry point for anyone who loves the idea of a band getting lost in the music and taking the listener along for the ride.
My Brother The Wind is an improvisation collective consisting of Anekdoten's Nicklas Barker, Makajodama’s Mathias Danielsson, and Magnolia's Ronny Eriksson & Tomas Eriksson. They have recorded two albums of totally improvised psychedelic rock. They are associated with Swedish underground bands such as Träd, Gräs & Stenar & Dungen. Both albums have entered the Swedish charts, which is rare for improvised music.
