SWEDISH AVANT-GARDE JAZZ-PUNK DYNAMIT
- SLUTAVVERKNING RELEASES MUSIC VIDEO -
September 17th, 2025 - Swedish avant-garde jazz-punk quintet Slutavverkning followed up their 2023 debut album “Levande Charader” earlier this month with “Skräp”, a four-song EP out now on Feral Cuts. Now, they are adding the title song’s gloriously ramshackle music video to the package!
A short but potent blast of ferocious noise rock, the song was born out of a shambolic live improv session.“When I started playing the riff, it was a straight uptempo rocker in my mind. I guess it went another way! As per usual with this gang. A disco rhythm, that melodic bass-line and a clarinet drone on top? We loved it right away, so decided to record a music video on the spot. In the meantime, the first pressing of the vinyl had a defect, so we ended up with a pile of unplayable records. Kinda ironic for a release called “Trash”, but at least we had some props for the video!” - Pelle Andersson, guitar.
The new EP infuses the dark, experimental atmosphere of their debut full-length (Levande Charader, 2023) with the invigorating energy of their early EPs (Arbetets sorgemusik del I-III, 2019-2020). It’s a visceral set from the nadir of the Swedish underground; for fans of The Birthday Party, Flipper and The Locust.
Available now on limited 7 inch and all major streaming platforms.
“Drawing from the raw, unrestrained energy of The Birthday Party, the fiery ethos of Fugazi, and the unapologetic spirit of Fear, Slutavverkning forges a cacophonous alchemy.”

- SLUTAVVERKNING BIOGRAPHY -
Slutavverkning first put its nose to the grindstone in 2018 to explore the sweet spot between proletarian noise-rock and unhinged acid-jazz.
On a trio of acclaimed EPs collectively titled “Music of Labour and Sorrow I-III”, core-members Pelle Andersson (guitar), Jon Ekström (vocals) and Marcus Källström (drums) were accompanied by renowned saxophone virtuoso Per Texas Johansson (Fire! Orchestra, Stockholm Jazz Orchestra). Shortly after, Per Wiberg joined on bass (ex-Opeth, Candlemass, Spiritual Beggars…), while Johansson’s Fire! Orchestra bandmate Isak Hedtjärn took over saxophone and clarinet duties. The already unique sound expanded into truly outlandish territories with this, as it can be heard on their debut full-length “Levande Charader” (2023).
Capturing the raw energy of their ramshackle live appearances, the same lineup recorded the incendiary follow-up EP “Skräp”, set to release on September 5th, 2025.
