The Harmony Aviators is a Swedish folkindie duo. Well, there’s probably a bit of country music in the mix as well. Pretty much like Emmylou Harris and Gram Parsons. We wish.

It all started with the country band Loop & Lil. The band was formed back in 2016 after an amazing summer night in our old house in the small town of Ystad, Sweden. A few friends came over to cook, drink, and play and sing some of our favorite country songs by the kitchen table. Just for the fun of it.

But things developed. Before we knew it, the house was crowded with people who wanted to listen. Before we knew it, people started to book us for living room shows. Before we knew it, we were selling out local venues.

When Loop & Lil in 2020 decided to take a short break, the two of us started to explore songwriting together as a duo. And, so, The Harmony Aviators was born.

The very first song, “Sunset & Stars”, was released in 2020 and was frequently aired on Swedish Radio P4 and discovered by indie label Ostereo in Manchester, UK, that offered a publishing deal.

Then the pandemic hit the world – and we had all of a sudden plenty of time to work on our songs. We recorded them in our home studio in Ystad during isolation and had music producer and multi-instrumentalist Amir Aly join in remotely from Yla Studios. The outcome of the sessions, the ten-song album “To Love and Live and Hide Out”, was released in 2021.

We have since done numerous live shows as The Harmony Aviators and released the 5-song EP “Wildfire” in October 2024. We are also proud to have been nominated to the Texas Sounds International Country Music Awards and the live show we did at the event in Marshall, Texas, in 2024.
