Biography

Brine is a Swedish band from Gothenburg. Brine started out in the late 1990s, in the fishing village of Grebbestad, situated at the Swedish West Coast. In those days Brine was a rather noisy outfit, led by Davor Abazovic and Goran Abazovic – back then both teenagers switching on playing guitars & bass; with Bengt Eriksson, twice their senior, on drums. The band took the name from the song ”Palace of the Brine”, by back then their favorites The Pixies. During 1995-1997, Brine recorded a series of demos with British recording engineer Peter Connolly. Just before the turn of the century, the Abazovic-brothers moved to the capital City of Stockholm, where they were joined by Linn Lokadotter Bodell (bass) and Tomas Olsén (drums). During a short and somewhat turbulent, but very creative period of time, this line-up recorded two LPs, "Recordings ’99" and "On Linn’s Tape Recorder" (1999-2000). However, these albums never saw an official release. Instead, it was "Losers Case" (an EP-album from 2004, on White Noise and …harbour, sea…) that came to be Brine’s debut release. Afterwards the band relocated back to the West Coast of Sweden and the City of Gothenburg. This also led to some crucial changes in the lineup. Included in the band was for a while also Mads Johannes Nielsen (from Scaredy Cat, Sock Puppets, PAMS, Flemming, etc.) Another EP, entitled "BRINE EP", came in 2006 (on …harbour, sea…). Brine first official LP-album,"Story vs. Plot" was released in 2008 (on …harbour, sea…). By then Goran Abazovic had decided to focus on other projects. But he played (mostly bass) on a few tracks on the album. "Story vs. Plot" was recorded on four different locations and it featured many guest musicians (Liv Bäckelie, Stian Rödven Eide, Richard Harryson, Mats Larsson, etc), among these three different drummers. The album caught the ear of the legendary New York music critic Jack Rabid (founder of The Big Takeover magazine) – who has since featured Brine’ songs on his radio show on several occasions. "Story vs. Plot" got positive reviews also in music magazines such as It’s A Trap– Scandinavian Music Journal, Absolute Noise, Under the Radar and Artrocker. In early 2009 Peter Johannesson, a skilled multi-instrumentalist who’d been around Brine ever since their very start, finally joined the band on bass and keys – soon to be followed by Daniel Åhs on guitar, and Andreas Höglund on drums (Höglund departed less than a year later to focus on his other bands). In 2010 Brine released yet another EP, called "The Necessary Links That Make Up, Part One" (…harbour, sea…). Nilla Berko joined the band in early 2010 – on cello and vocals – which refined Brine's sound. Brine’s second long play-album, entitled "The Names" came out in 2012 on Oodiofoniska Inspelningar, an independent Swedish recording label from Gothenburg, run by musician and music producer Cristan Brieba. Given the album’s more ‘cinematic’ vibe, Davor Abazovic made a video for each of the tracks. These were later combined in to a short music film. After this Abazovic ended up making videos for a few other Swedish and also Belgian bands. "The Names" got positive reviews in The Big Takeover and also in a couple of Swedish music publications. Victor Hillström, a very talented drummer, and a member of several young and promising Swedish outfits – who also played the drums on a few tracks on the The Names-album – now joined the band on the regular basis. Brine’s third LP-album, "The Night Before It Happened", came out in December 2014. The albums ten tracks were written in a more democratic way than any of the band previous material. The album is both more vocal-orientated (with Nilla Berko, Davor Abazovic and Peter Johannesson, all singing leads) and rather sophisticated in its instrumentation.
