Familjen is the alias of Swedish techno/electropop artist Johan T Karlsson. Karlsson grew up in Hässleholm, Skåne (the same town as fellow electronica producers Andreas Tilliander and Stefan Thor (Folie)), but is currently based in Stockholm. In his youth as a synthpop fan he also formed bands with Sophie Rimheden from nearby Lund. Karlsson has previously produced Swedish indie band David & the Citizens. Karlsson describes his music as indie-techno: I'm pretty fed up with guitarr-indie and techno can get a bit monotone after a while All his lyrics are in Swedish, or the southern dialect of Scanian to be more precise. He performs live with Andreas Tilliander on synthesizer. Both the album and the single Det snurrar i min skalle are released on Tellé in Norway, the same label as Röyksopp, Annie and Kings Of Convenience
