SUPERTRADITIONAL
Supertraditional distributes contemporary folk music in a wider sense. We want to make music that is raw, fragile and honest – music that will make you feel and music that dares to say something. Melodies and narratives that sometimes requires time and the right place.

“Flädermoln beskriver, berättar, ställer frågor men har inga direkta svar. Som lyssnare känner jag mig träffad. Och allt detta görs med briljans. Flädemolns skiva heter Hejdå världen, men den postapokalyptiska titeln till trots så är jag rätt säker på att detta inte är det sista vi hört av orkestern som består av idel unga stjärnor som Anna Möller, Anna Malmström, Adam Grauman, Johan Graden, Julia Schabbauer och på sång Viola Martinsson.” - Lira Musikmagasin, 2020
