Biography
Old Amica is a two man band from Sweden, one part Stockholm and one part Umeå, creating music using the mighty powers of the internet.
Created across distance by Johan Kisro and Linus Johansson after meeting in high school in Norrbotten, now based in Stockholm and Geneva respectively, distance has always been part of their creative process, with their music evolving through shared online projects where ideas pass back and forth in an organic and intuitive exchange. Since beginning their collaboration in 2010, they have released music on labels including Oscarson, Dronarivm, Handstitched and Moonpalace Records, not to mention two previous albums for Whitelabrecs; Taiga (2019) and Fyr (2023).

Their latest album Bländverk is built around a simple but creatively fertile idea: the piano as the central and almost exclusive sound source. What began as a single piece written for Piano Day, with the self-imposed limitation of using only piano-derived sounds, gradually grew into a full-length work as the restriction itself opened unexpected creative pathways.
