Video premiere: music documentary about incredible late-1960s Swedish psych band

Trd, Grs och Stenar were a groundbreaking, raw psych jam band from Sweden known for their wild concert/improv happenings where they served organic food they had grown, augmented their droning guitar/bass/drum core with home-brewed instruments, effects, and amps, and encouraged audiences to join their musical fray. Formed in 1968 from the ashes of pioneering groups Persson Sound and International Harvester, Trd, Grs och Stenar released four proper LPs before disbanding in 1973.

One of the best heavy-psych-improv-folk-blues-rock bands EVER," says Pavement's Stephen Malkmus about Trd, Grs och Stenar. "Toss the tired Krautrock and supposed buried treasures of acid folk and catch the True Communal Wave!

Today, the good people at Anthology Recordings are releasing reissues of Trd, Grs och Stenar's mind-melting recordings, including a limited-edition six LP silkscreened box set of live material, never-before-seen images, reproductions of original flyers, and a digital download with even more tracks. One entire LP in the set comes from unheard tapes that the Anthology folks dug out of founding member Jakob Sjhol's attic!

To celebrate, we are delighted to premiere Anthology Recordings' short documentary about Trd, Grs och Stenar, directed by Isak Sjholm and Jesper Eklw.

Far fucking out.
