Skaiv: Vargkvint + Jakob Lindhagen

Vargkvint

Drawing inspiration from oceans, forests and folklore, Vargkvint is the musical project project of Stockholm-based multiartist Sofia Nystrand. Combining evocative melodies and a playful approach to arrangement and instrument usage, Vargkvint’s music falls neatly between the definitions of folk, modern classical, pop and experimental music. 

Her conceptual debut album ”Hav”, released on Piano And Coffee Records in 2019, was warmly received by an international audience while singing in her native language, and appeared on several ”Album Of The Year”-lists.  She has on several occasions toured internationally together with her artistic collaborator Jakob Lindhagen, and is currently working on her follow-up album.
