Spöket i köket, which translates to "The Ghost in the Kitchen" from Swedish, is a dynamic band deeply rooted in the folk traditions of Nordic countries while embracing a contemporary and innovative approach to music. Fusing the traditional sounds of their heritage with fresh arrangements and lively performances, they've built a repertoire that spans from rollicking polskas to delicate waltzes, highlighted by their keen musicianship and playful stage presence. Their unique sound resides at the intersection of the old and the new, appealing to both purists and modernists within the folk music scene.

The group's recent releases, such as "Kurbits & Flames" and "Shuffle Bonanza," showcase their versatility and ability to evolve within the genre. "Polska från Medelpad" pays homage to traditional tunes, while "Värmlandsnytt" illustrates their capacity to inject a contemporary vigor into time-honored melodies. With "Château du Garage" and "Light Is Dim / Hommage aux frères pigeon," they display a reflective, yet sophisticated tone, further enhanced by the lively charm of "Den nya spisen." With each new release, Spöket i köket cements its status as a leading force in the revival and reinterpretation of Nordic folk music.
