"I've lost track of space and time peeling holes in the wall paper..."
Not long ago, I featured Råhypnos, the duo of Nadja Virgé and Pablo Rautenberg, and I wrote:
The pulsating atmospheres of 'What is Real?' by Gothenburg, Sweden's duo Råhypnos feels folk rustic, somber, candid eschewing the folk indie tropes of the day for honest reflections in stripped down way. The melodies for me have a 70's, maybe even 60's folk tone and the reliance on acoustic guitars with organs, keyboards and accordions heighten the folk classicalism. This push to simple productions doesn't negate the emotionality and the elegance. I love the vocal aesthetic, the harmonies that sound passionate, full of loss and longing.

Hailing from Gothenburg, Sweden, Råhypnos is a duo that consists of Nadja Virgé and Pablo Rautenberg and was formed in 2015. The self-titled debut EP from 2016 was described by critics as dark indie mixed with modern pop influences. The first full-length "Do We Wan't It?" from 2018 had a large soundscape with distorted guitars that meet electronic soundscapes.
In 2021, the duo recorded the new album “What is Real?”, which will be released October 28, 2022. The sound of the new songs is intimately stripped down with acoustic guitars and vocals in focus in combination with various organs, keyboards and accordions. The songs were recorded in Pablo's kitchen to try to create the feeling of sitting around the kitchen table and playing together.

"I've lost track of space and time peeling holes in the wall paper / so many thoughts run through my head swarming around like a war of ants..."
Råhypnos are back offering a LIVE performance of "What is Real" in collaboration with West Side Music Sweden and Project partners: The Swedish Arts Council, The region of Västra Götaland & The Swedish Institute. Not only do you get to hear Pablo talk in his native language about what informs the song, the LIVE performance is so utterly amazing, emotionally, sonically as recorded in a former prison in Gothenburg, now a café (Fängelset) instead.
'What is Real?' is the title track of their latest 2022 album.
