Kuryakin & Mechanical Owl (Folktronica)

Folktronica community presents:


Kuryakin & Mechanical Owl



Kuryakin :

Petter Gjöres (vocals, guitar, computers) Johan Norberg (guitar, computers)/Sweden

Petter and Johan has been making music under the name Kuryakin since 2003. They met at the university in Uppsala 2002. Petter nowadays live in Stockholm and Johan in Uppsala. The music is put together by Petter and Johan who mails samples and ideas to eachother and then play toghether a few times a month.

We are about to release a combined EP and 7" on Shelflife Records this spring. It's our first release, but to us it's like a greatest hits album with the songs we've been working on the last couple of years and not been able to release anywhere. We will also release a 7" in Japan on Fastcut Records this spring, and later this year, an EP with completely new songs.

1. Kuryakin - A parade
2. Kuryakin - Fought a war
3. Kuryakin - Birds
4. Kuryakin - Snow



Mechanical Owl :

Mike Payne / North Wales


I live in North Wales, but travel back and forth to Leeds from time to time. I write and record the songs at home, and will soon be performing them with a band at some live shows.

I also like to get together with Mr Nicolas Burrows (Glaciers) and make up songs, there are some on the 'Mrs Dice Feet' profile (see friends list.) The songs on there are a result of Nic coming to visit for a few days. Me and Nicholas also like to get together with Mr Harry dean, and play songs as 'Crayon,' (see friends,) which is little guitar/keyboard pop band.

5. Mechanical Owl - Catapulte
6. Mechanical Owl - MUSEUM BOOKS_1
7. Mechanical Owl - RSPCA
8. Mechanical Owl - You are the Summer
