Behind We Float's music, lyrics and arrangements is bassist Anne Marte Eggen, who together with her fellow musicians leads the listener into an evocative world where the melodies succeed each other and create a dreamy atmosphere. Here, progressive pop merges with jazz, rock and chamber music, forming something unique and magnificent.

"It is exciting, it is beautiful, it is inviting, it is playful. It is simply very good music that is easy to listen to despite its complexity. We Float no longer push any musical boundaries. The boundaries are blurred and the music has become We Float, with soundscapes that change style and shift in a way that clearly shows that the music has been carved out with precision." - Lennart Götesson, Dala-Demokraten

We Float was formed in 2013 and five years later, in the fall of 2018, they received the Swedish Radio Jazz Cat as "Group of the Year". They have released three critically acclaimed albums, most recently Let Go, which has been praised for its warmth, depth and personal expression.

We Float are:

Anne Marte Eggen - bass, compositions, backing vocals

Linda Bergström - vocals, synthesizer

Fanny Gunnarsson - keys and backing vocals

Samuel Hällkvist - guitar

”In a repertoire based on relaxed rhythms and original songs with English lyrics, bassist Anne Marte Eggen and her quartet We Float reflected that Nordic coolness.” – Doug Ramsey, The Wall Street Journal

“Challenging, warm and mature music.The melodic idea, the rhythmic and intonatory precision, the ability to implement the harmonies and - most importantly - the artistic message are impressive. The album tells beautiful musical stories in a mostly lyrical atmosphere.” — Jazz-Fun

“With Let Go, We Float (along with avant-twang guitarist extraordinaire Samuel Hällkvist) move beyond an instrumentalist mentality and achieve the kind of high-minded but highly relatable art that the likes of Kate Bush, Simple Minds, Tears For Fears and Peter Gabriel conquered the airwaves with during the 1980s. If pop music was due for a modern makeover, We Float pull it off so well you might not immediately recognize what a feat of songcraft Let Go truly is.” - Saby Reyes-Kulkarni

«The whole building and the beautiful, ornate melodies rest in the arms of the sounds and the solemn romantic moods. (…) The music has been made with precision and an ear for details. Behind music, lyrics and arrangements stands the bassist Anne Marte Eggen and her consistent way of implementing her vision is impressive. Then she also has good help in the realization, not least by Linda Bergström, who sings with sensitivity and warmth, has a great voice to pick up when needed and the same look for shades like Eggen.» – Alexander Agrell, Sydsvenskan

"The bassist — and more — Anne Marte Eggen is responsible for all the music and lyrics, and the music moves forward slowly, dreamily, solemnly, beautifully, with grand sonic landscapes where synths and Rhodes take the leading roles and the vocal harmonies surge. There are hypnotic qualities here." - Alexander Agrell, Sydsvenskan

«Armed with the deft skills and abilities of her Swedish bandmates and guest guitarist Samuel Hällkvist at her disposal, Eggen is able to highlight every pop and jazz infused element, blending and consolidating them together in a compositional approach that has always served song and soundscape first ahead of virtuosity.» – Indie 30
