Arbete Och Fritid

**Arbete Och Fritid** (translating to "Work and Leisure") is a legendary Swedish experimental folk band rooted in the 1970s progg movement, Sweden’s politically charged answer to progressive music. Mixing traditional Scandinavian folk with psychedelic grooves, free jazz, and avant-garde textures, they’re known for wild instrumental jams featuring fiddle, accordion, and saxophone. Their sound feels both earthy and trippy, like a village dance party colliding with a cosmic jam session.

Though originally active in the ’70s, they’ve enjoyed a resurgence thanks to reissues and archival releases like *Progglådan* box sets, which celebrate Sweden’s radical music history. Recent live albums (*...Sen dansar vi ut*) and collaborations keep their spirit alive, proving their boundary-pushing fusion of folk and experimentation still feels fresh. Perfect for fans of music that’s equally suited for forest hikes or late-night headphone adventures.
