Mixtape: Mary Anne's Polar Rig adventures and inspirations

A rock-ish, Swed-ish blend from duo Mary Anne's Polar Rig.

This mixtape serves as a chronological summary of Harald Ingvarsson and Malin Hofvander's shared musical inspirations—a blend of friends, heroes, and collective concert experiences. It kicks off with the debut single from their band Mary Anne's Polar Rig in 2018, released under the record label Kollektivet Records. The mixtape then ventures into the realm of Malmö-based bands from the same period, sprinkled with diverse musical encounters since.

Embark on a musical journey that spans from teenage anxiety rock to noise rock, passing through black metal and Swedish prog, culminating in the present. The mixtape concludes with last week's voice memo, featuring a rehearsal of a song from their upcoming EP, slated for recording in February.

If the sounds resonate with you, keep an eye out for Mary Anne's Polar Rig's new releases and concert dates throughout this spring.

The mixtape intro by Harald and Malin is in Swedish.
