Neutral is the duo of Dan Johansson (Sewer Election, Ättestupa, Enhet för fri musik) and Sofie Herner (Enhet för fri musik, Leda), both with a background in the Swedish noise scene. Their debut LP Grå Våg Gamlestaden (Omlott) came out in 2014 and was followed by a second, nameless, LP in 2016. In fall 2017, they released the mini album När.

The music of Neutral combines elements from harsh noise, rock and music concrète. They have performed in Belgium, Poland, Switzerland, Finland and the US. This is their first performance in the UK.

”This duo consisting of Dan and Sophie plays music that sometimes sound like the noisiest 10 second bit ever played by Velvet Underground stretched into a whole song, an album and maybe even a complete artistic corpus. Shorn of all that is unnecessary, we’re left with guitars, tapes and the roughest outlines of the sounds they make. Neutral’s music brings together European and American minimalist impulses, from krautrock the The Factory and postpunk to earthy harsh noise, tape music to rock and musique concrète.” – Press text from Flow Festival 2017
