The Big Up
Back home in Sweden, The Big Up is pop artist and producer Tobias Frobergs fourth album. The first came out in 2004 and was nominated for a Swedish indie grammy – and during this period, Tobias toured a lot with fellow swede José Gonzalez. The second album (Somewhere in the city) came out in 2006 and was released in the UK by legendary Alan McGee (Oasis, Glasvegas etc) on McGees own label Poptones, in the states by Cheap Lullaby Records and in France by PIAS – and in around 25 other countries. This album got amazing reviews everywhere. UK magazine The Words editor wrote, for example that "Im starting to think that it might be one of the greatest albums ever made."
The third album (Turn Heads) came out 2008 (not in the UK since Alan put Poptones down right before the release) and also got really good reviews. Swedens most influential magazine, Sonic, gave it for example a 9 out of ten.
And now its time for The Big Up. In Sweden, where it was released in April - were the reviews fantastic. The best critical aclaimed album for Tobias in his home territory so far.
– I built it around my Hammond Organ I bought in Chicago, says Tobias. Its a love album to my wife, Sandra. Very uplifting – and very dark. When you have everything, you have a lot to lose. Its, to my ears, by far the best album Ive done.
Tobias also produces and writes songs to other artists. For example Peter Morén (of Peter Bjorn and John), The Cocknbullkid (new UK artist on Moshi Moshi/Island Records), Ane Brun, Theresa Andersson, Kathryn Williams, legendary artist and producer Allen Tuissaint, Existensminimum and Lisa Ekdahl. Amongst others.
Tobias has had quite a few songs in commercials and tv series. The last tv thing was the very first episode of HBO:s Bored to death. In Sweden, TV4 made a serie called Blomstertid. They did something which is unique, they used only one artist for all the music; the catalouge of Tobias Froberg.
