MumriqSE

Since 2022, Mumriq has crafted a distinctive sound world of enigmatic poetry across Scandinavian stages. Drawing inspiration from Nick Cave and Captain Beefheart, they explore the intersection of jazz, alternative rock, and art music. Their dynamic range flows from tender whispers to desperate screams, enveloping listeners in the intimate warmth and solitude of human experience. Composer Klara Ahlersten's resilient yet vulnerable vocals meet instruments that balance between virtuosity and chaos. Mumriq, honored with an award from the Swedish Performing Rights Society (STIM), has captivated audiences at prestigious events, including the Copenhagen Jazz Festival and Ääniä Festival. Based in Gothenburg, Sweden, their music reaches a global audience through Varva Records that released their acclaimed debut EP in 2024.
