Emil Erstrand and Nils Nygårdh started making music with their first band when they were 16 and have stuck together ever since. Throughout the years, via several projects and constellations, the music has become both refined and simplified and left the songs of Grapell honest with a core of raw and genuine emotion. It is romantic and at the same time sincere. When listening to a Grapell song you may hear traces of classic soul, country, Beatle-esque rock and even R&B. But at the same time, you will experience something completely unique – not least through Erstrand’s heartfelt vocals. Grapell is based on Erstrand’s song writing and brought to life through the collaboration between the two members. Whilst Nygårdh is the band’s drummer he also plays a crucial part as a creative sounding board. Often times, Erstrand writes the core of the song on his own and then brings it to the rehearsal space where the duo sort it out together, just to later on record it in the very same room. Grapell has always been a classic DIY project. Grapell’s music offers a place where you can lose yourself for a while, and, whether you’re experiencing life affirmative excitement or heart-breaking sadness, find a song to channel that very emotion. The world of Grapell is a place where only the true, raw and honest is important.
