This has allowed Yukimi to collaborate freely with each member building new ideas in an environment where anything goes, from vintage analogue and digital synthesizers to live drums, traditional woodwind, and percussion instruments. The band’s creative process stems from their mutual appreciation of raw, unprocessed sounds, and the fact that Erik, Fredrik, and Håkan each have built their own individual studio setups over the years. Since then, the band has released a total of seven studio albums and collaborated on songs with the likes of Gorillaz, Kaytranada, and De La Soul.
They began releasing music back in 2006 and followed up with their self-titled debut album in 2007. Hailing from Gothenburg, Sweden, Yukimi Nagano (vocals), Erik Bodin (drums), Fredrik Wallin (bass), and Håkan Wirenstrand (keyboards) formed the band in 1996 when they found they shared a similar love for Jazz and Hip-Hop records.
