Friday Bridge is the musical vehicle for Ylva Lindberg and Niklas Gustafsson. The music of Friday Bridge has been described as a mixture of modern electronic pop and the pop music of the ’80s – sometimes with references to classical music, for example in the use of the harpsichord in the otherwise electronic instrumentation.
Friday Bridge was founded in 2004, and quickly got a faithful following after the release of The Lady Julie. The following year, Friday Bridge released an EP on Bedroom Records and the single It Girl, which received extensive airplay in Sweden as well as abroad. It Girl was later featured on the Friendly Noise compilation Are You Scared to Get Happy?. Friday Bridge’s debut album Intricacy was released on But is it Art? on the 23rd May 2007. The album received raving reviews, among others from Sonic Magazine, who called the album “genius pop music”. The album was nominated for Swedish national radio prize P3 Guld in the Pop category. On the 11th March, Friday Bridge will release their second album, Bite My Tongue.
“…very unusual electropop. Slightly sliced with deranged Pet Shop Boys, Italo Disco, Tortuga and of course ABBA. Theres also a shy-like classical feel to their excellent sounds. And, they are excellent. You can hear Stock Aitken Waterman all over the song “It Girl” and as Sonia once said, its “great!”. There is also something a bit royal about them. Perhaps thats the St.Etienne touch that graces some of their finest moments.” - Dontstopthepop
