INGRID is a Swedish^[1] artist collective and record label founded in 2012.^[2] They released their first compilation on Record Store Day 2012. The collective's musical work is notable for containing multiple side-projects by its members that do not adhere to the line-ups of their primary ventures; for example, Björn Yttling has a track entitled 'Cuban Lips' under the stage name Yttling Jazz on the INGRID Volym 1 compilation; however, he is also featured as a member of the band Smile along with Teddybears member Joakim Åhlund. All of the bands featured on the compilation are either of this nature or are solo works.
