TRIO (The.Rhythm.Is.Odd) is a Swedish progressive psychedelic band formed in Stockholm, Sweden, in September 2006. The group was founded by the Swedish drum legend Leif Fredriksson, together with Bjorn Egelius, and Tobbe Johanson. The result became TRIO, which is an acronym for "The Rhythm Is Odd". TRIO has performed in various places such as Nanning, China.
Approach
The way TRIO perform its music is often concept album style. The songs follow a theme, and TRIO performs them often as a single piece.
Music
Their music is based on odd time signature grooves, often referred to as odd meter. Examples include 9/8 rhythms or 13/8 rhythms. Their music also has some psychedelic influences, reminiscent of the mid-1960s canterbury scene. TRIO is an acronym for "The.Rhythm.Is.Odd", referring to the strange time signature that is the core in their music. A Second album is announced to be released in late 2010.
