about

JERKA is the new solo project of Malmö DIY musician Jesper Pettersson, mostly known as the brain behind and front figure in the garange-tinged indie band Gula Blend - the band that released their debut LP in 2020 and got nominated as newcomer of the year at the latest Swedish Indie Awards. On his solo project, the nerve and genuine feeling from Gula Blend remains but is put in a more intimate setting.

On March 18th, JERKA is set to release his self-titled debut album. Spanning over seven tracks, 'JERKA' includes everything from straightforward indie punk in the form of 'Don't mind me', monotone lo-fi as 'Natten' and 80s inspired alternative power ballads with a big crescendo as the closing track 'Annika'. All of this is tied together with Jesper's playful signature songwriting and honest lyrics touching on subjects such as mourning, restlessness and self-destructiveness.

Jesper describes the project and the album: "I wanted a project for which I can just write new songs all the time. I don’t want it to sound like Gula Blend but I guess it kind of does anyway. I don’t really have a plan, I just wanted complete freedom to try new things and see where it leads me and it feels like I have given myself just that with JERKA"

'JERKA' is out March 18th on all digital platforms and limited CD via Rama Lama Records (Melby, Wy, Steve Buscemi's Dreamy Eyes etc.).
