We just recieved a review with some very nice and heartwarming words about us and our new album "Rising"! Thank you very much Elda Dorren from De Doelen (NL)! 🙂

"The young Swedish duo Symbio is a true phenomenon on stage. In their energic performances hurdy-gurdy player Johannes Geworkian Hellman and accordionist LarsEmil Öjeberget are mixing film music, techno, Scandinavian folk and a big blues vibe easily. Every show is an experience due to the musical telepathy between these musicians and their catching stories.

The first cd 'Phoresy' (released 2016) was already a fine record, but with the succesor 'Rising' this duo presents an even more grown-up sound. The new album has a bit more up beat songs and Celctic influences, but it is still atmospheric as the first cd. All the musical landscapes which are passing by while listening to the record, create the perfect soundtrack of a road movie.

The title 'Rising' is a reference to their ambition and their musical 'coming of age', which is well chosen for their new music. It recalls images of a phoenix, rising from the ashes: from the first song the listener is lifted from their daily boring routine and is taken away to a new, more hopefull universe." ...

Thanks for a lovely review of our concert at Kulturzentrum BÜZ some weeks ago! We are so happy for these beautiful words from the Minden Daily News Paper. This was our first concert in Germany and we really enjoyed it! We will get back in March 2019! <3

"The interaction of Johannes Geworkian Hellman and Lars Emil Öjeberget left nothing to be desired. Johannes Geworkian Hellman has taken this instrument, also known as the hurdy-gurdy, to a whole new level of music, creating sounds never heard before... Hellman plays the hurdy-gurdy with an attitude of a rock guitarrist. The interaction with the equally virtuoso accordion player Lars Emil Öjeberget, who amazes with great independence between left and right hand, is on a rare high level...You get the impression that the they complement one another perfectly and simply had to find each other.

The audience, despite the warm autumn weather well-attended event was completely thrilled by this brilliant start of the concert series." ... See MoreSee Less
