Bassist Dan Berglund became world famous as a member of e.s.t. His bass work led to him earning a reputation as the “rock ‘n’ roller of the trio”. Svensson’s tragic death in an accident in June 2008 forced Berglund to re-orientate himself; he played with many old friends from his time before e.s.t. and out of these sessions, a new band slowly crystallised: Tonbruket. Tonbruket displays an astonishingly varied range of different sounds from ambient to drum n’ bass and art rock, and it is not just a new beginning for Dan Berglund, who appears here for the first time as a composer, a leader as opposed to a sideman. There is more at work here than just a fresh and wonderfully talented group - Tonbruket carry the torch of e.s.t., but aren’t afraid to follow its light down a whole new path.

"Tonbruket’s clever blend of post rock should also hold appeal to fans of Radiohead, Tortoise, Jaga Jazzist and others."
