With power and tenderness, playfulness and gravity, Trio Rop creates a unique vocal soundscape where the story is in focus. Their debut album, "Mellan oss" ("Between Us"), tells a tale of heartbreak, profound grief, recovery and the life that happens in between, between us.

Through a burning desire to tell stories from everyday life and all things that feel incomprehensibly big, Trio Rop grounds itself in traditional storytelling and Swedish folk song. This tradition was historically used as a way of sharing and remembering stories and events. In this spirit, Trio Rop seeks to make visible the stories they themselves miss in the Swedish folk tradition. The tales of the outsiders, of queer love and the power of friendship.

With their innovative compositions, vocalists Elin Buxfeldt, Petrix Hessel and Sofia Källman take us to a tranquil place full of shimmering light and beautiful shadows. On the album, the trio is joined by 6 other voices.

"Between us, everything and nothing exists. Between us, the future is built. Between us is siblinghood, is grief, is love, cries, whispers. It all lives between us."
