Coming straight from a massage table to the Ingrid Studios floor, Jenny Wilson dives straight into what music means – and has meant over the decades she’s been making it – to her life. With a strong belief that it's the greatest art form of them all, she explains how songwriting has helped her ride the ups and downs of an incredible existence. Raw honesty and a big beating heart power this songstress, and our conversation, onwards. From playing in a band to going about it solo to composing an opera. From social media to krautrock dreams to the favorite thing she’s ever written. Join Sarah and Björn as they go Back to the Music with Ingrid à la incomparable Jenny Wilson.

20. Abstract Crimewave's Joakim Åhlund
From trombone to bass to guitar to vocals. From punk to jazz to rock to indie. From music videos to music production to the uncomfortable landscape of lead singing. “I’m always thinking about music,” Jocke Åhlund explains to Sarah and Björn (who he shares a band with) over the course of a raucous hour at the studio. We dig in deep on his long-standing relationship with music. Including how he loves the Ramones for having a single sound and drumbeat, but has trouble himself making music that holds to one genre. Get the lowdown on this multihyphenate’s magical non-formula, and learn just what Swedish music may be all about.

He takes us back in time to the recording industry of the 80s, explains how he taught Grant McLennan to play bass with zero musical training, and what it’s like to be both a musician – and a music critic! Oh, and let’s us in on the gig he played at the inauguration of the Go Between bridge in his hometown, while disclosing his favorite studio in the world as….

18. Johnossi's John Engelbert
A week before releasing his 8th studio album, John Englebert of Swedish rock duo Johnossi joins Sarah and Björn to share the highs and lows of his creative process. He waxes lyrical on everything from scientology and air miles to why Johnossi started without a bassist, how the White Stripes helped them along, and how the band’s songwriting process has evolved over two decades together, because, you know, “Rehearsing is boring.” Oh, and we learn what Ossi really thought of the lead single on the new album when he first heard a demo back in 2019. A truly raucous ride of a conversation, we leave him with the last word: “Music is a magical thing."

17. Anna Ternheim
Having recently returned to her native Sweden after nearly an entire adulthood living in the U.S., Anna Ternheim joins us in the studio for a fun and inspiring conversation. Over the course of an hour, she lets us in on how: -she thinks she’s incredibly slow in the creative process -the first album carries a magical energy -different places influence her sound, while she always follows the same routines -playing with a band vs. on her own feels -she’s found her songwriting formula Fun fact: we recorded with her on the same day as her fellow Dead People bandmate Joakim Berg. With similarly kind and generous spirits, it was simple to see how these two found themselves in creative communion.
