20. Abstract Crimewave's Joakim Åhlund

From trombone to bass to guitar to vocals. From punk to jazz to rock to indie. From music videos to music production to the uncomfortable landscape of lead singing. “I’m always thinking about music,” Jocke Åhlund explains to Sarah and Björn (who he shares a band with) over the course of a raucous hour at the studio. We dig in deep on his long-standing relationship with music. Including how he loves the Ramones for having a single sound and drumbeat, but has trouble himself making music that holds to one genre. Get the lowdown on this multihyphenate’s magical non-formula, and learn just what Swedish music may be all about.
