After the live debut in the early 90s, the reputation of bob hund's raucous performances and explosive, wayward songs quickly spread. Since then, the band has had a central place on the Nordic rock scene and after 32 years we have now reached the band's 13th album.
Bob hund consists of Thomas Öberg, Johnny Essing, Conny Nimmersjö, Mats Hellquist, Jonas Jonasson and Christian Gabel. Six individuals who don't fit in but who fit together. They create music where reality is reflected in all its beautiful distortion and they do it together. This time they have also mixed in another creative force, Per Sunding, from the pop band Eggstone, has produced.
bob hund's very first records were recorded in the legendary Tambourine Studios in Malmö together with Per Sunding. Before the new album, bob hund once again stepped over the threshold of the old brick building.
The songs on the record have taken detours and wandered around for quite a while before they finally got their perfect form. Some songs go back a long way, other seeds were sown very recently.

Bob Hund's new album is released in 2 parts. First up is the A-side DRÖMMEN ÄR EN RÅVARA, which will be released on January 26. 6 songs recorded with Per Sunding as producer in Tambourine Studios Malmö. The first time bob hund met Per Sunding was in 1993, and then they recorded half an hour of music in 27 minutes. By then, all the songs were deeply engraved in both muscle memory and bone marrow. 30 years later, each song was like a little puzzle they were trying to solve together, and this time half an hour of music could take 28 days to record.
“We were impossible at that time. The producer got a resounding NO to the humble suggestion of adding the tiniest little tambourine in a single chorus – now we've been begging on our bare knees for tambourines in all the choruses, but now it was the producer's turn to say NO.” says Thomas Öberg, the orchestra's vocalist.
All pop music requires a flat NO every now and then. This unfortunately led to the songs taking forever to complete.
Guitar equilibrist John Essing has been on call and watched over all the moments of the recording and ensured the quality of the product from the first note to the last, for a good two years. Even so, he is totally surprised by the end result. "It hasn't been easy," says Jonny.
Some of the songs were written even before BOBHUNDMUSIKAL, a performance that was performed at Helsingborg's Stadsteater in 2020. "But these melodies have now become so changed that even their mother would not recognize them today." says Thomas.
bob hund also goes on a spring tour, a long lap through the whole of Sweden, with both premiere and ending in Norrland. During 18 evenings, they will perform 18 different versions of the show "Den overkliga sanningen om bob hund". The premiere takes place in Umeå on 27/1.
"The truth is more unreal than ever," says bob hund's Thomas Öberg. "bob hund has turned into its own little world over time and all the voices in this little world will be raised sooner or later. There is joy and displeasure about each other."
Later this year the B-side, VERKLIGHETEN ÄR EN RAFFINERAD PRODUKT, will be released.
"They will alternately help and overturn each other. bob hund is trying to study a number of counter-relationships both with binoculars and microscopes. We are sure to fail to unravel the concepts and in the end bob hund will probably fabricate more questions than answers."
