Album Notes

Guitar, drums and saxophone, making music out of careful calculation and pure chance. Despite their metric-wrangling skills, they are not only about virtuosity: 15,5 is truly mastering both kinds of music.

På Begäran could be the songs from the radio, cut apart and brought back to life with soulful improvisations and brisk rhytmic treatments, only to be smashed into pieces again in the post production.

15,5 is guitarist Samuel Hällkvist with friends. Since 2004, they have developed their very special mix of random melodies, tender harmony and booty wiggling beats. The music has been described as danceable free fusion, and why not? We just have to come up with some suitable steps.

15,5 is, besides Samuel, Joel Wästberg on saxophones and Peter Nilsson on drums.
