Blue Foundation
// //Blue Foundation started out in 2000.
The music can be described as a mix of melodic dreamy pop influenced by indietronica and shoegaze. A kind of folk music for modern people. With influences from shoegaze, folk, turntablism, electronica, alternative classical music, film noir and contemporary music.
Tobias Wilner’s thoughts on the name Blue Foundation.
These days Tobias Wilner and Bo Rande are in the process of creating new material.
Blue Foundation released their first 7” via MoshiMoshi (Hot Chip, Bloc Party etc) and their 1st, self-titled album was released shortly after. During the last years, Blue Foundation have expanded their audience, embracing both the underground and the alternative mainstream. You can find the beautiful and cinematic sound of Blue Foundation in major blockbusters such as “Twilight”, “Miami Vice” and their music also appeared on The OC. Blue Foundation released their 3rd album “Life Of A Ghost” in Scandinavia in 2007 and in US in 2009 on Astralwerks.
