The instrumental drums/organ sibling duo has made its mark on the Swedish music scene since the formation back in 2003. Whether it is jazz-infused indie, electronic pop or cinematic ambient music, the duo has consistently charted their own unique path. Above all, Trummor & Orgel has built a reputation as being a brilliant and mind-blowing live act, showcased through their numerous acclaimed shows across Scandinavia and various parts of Europe.
The band began as a side-project in Uppsala, but soon became the main focus for drummer Staffan Ljunggren and Hammond organ player Anders Ljunggren. Two full-length demos found their way to Fredrik Ekander, founding member of the newly established independent label Cosmos Records, and a long cooperation started, generating four full-length albums and one ep before departing ways. After that, the Ljunggren brothers have adopted a truly independent path, composing, recording and releasing all music themselves. This endeavor has resulted in the creation of three albums and three EPs under their own label, Introspection.
The duo continued refining their introspective and textural expression with their most recent release, Graceful Degradation (2026). Here, the band leans even further into a spacious, slowly unfolding soundscape where the Hammond’s warm overtones drift through layers of analog haze and subtly shifting rhythmic patterns. The music balances fragility and momentum, allowing melodic fragments to erode, rebuild and transform in real time. It is a record that feels both intimate and expansive — a natural evolution of the Ljunggren brothers’ sonic identity, yet one that introduces a rawer, more vulnerable edge to their trademark interplay.
During the career, Trummor & has worked musically with, among others, Ebbot Lundberg (The Soundtrack of Our Lives), Magnus Carlson (Weeping Willows) and Peter Morén (Peter, Bjorn and John), featured music in several TV shows and movies, received a Swedish Grammy nomination in the Jazz category and composed the score for a silent movie.
