Komeda

Komeda is a Swedish pop and indie rock band known for their quirky, melodic sound and playful approach to songwriting. Originally formed as a jazz ensemble in the early 1990s in Umeå, Sweden, the group evolved into a pop-infused rock outfit with a flair for experimental rhythms and catchy hooks. The band’s lineup has included members Marcus Holmberg, Jonas Holmberg, and Lena Karlsson, among others, and they’re often praised for their tight musicianship and retro-influenced style.

Their 1998 album "What Makes It Go?" brought them international attention, thanks to its infectious pop sensibilities and polished production. Komeda's music often blends elements of 1960s pop, new wave, and soundtrack-inspired themes, creating a distinctive, cinematic atmosphere. With albums like "The Genius of Komeda" and "Kokomemedada," the band carved out a cult following both in Sweden and abroad. Though not prolific in recent years, their earlier releases continue to resonate with fans of smart, offbeat pop music.
