Friday Bridge is the musical vehicle for Ylva Lindberg and Niklas Gustafsson. The music of Friday Bridge has been described as a mixture of modern electronic pop and the pop music of the ’80s – sometimes with references to classical music, for example in the use of the harpsichord in the otherwise electronic instrumentation.
Friday Bridge was founded in 2004, and quickly got a faithful following after the release of The Lady Julie. The following year, Friday Bridge released an EP on Bedroom Records and the single It Girl, which received extensive airplay in Sweden as well as abroad. It Girl was later featured on the Friendly Noise compilation Are You Scared to Get Happy?.
Friday Bridge’s debut album Intricacy was released on But is it Art? on the 23rd May 2007. The album received raving reviews, among others from Sonic Magazine, who called the album “genius pop music”. The album was nominated for Swedish national radio prize P3 Guld in the Pop category.
On 11th March 2009, Friday Bridge released their second album, Bite My Tongue.
"The group's sound can be likened to laying fellow Swede Lykke Li's vocals atop Cut Copy's bouncy debut, Bright Like Neon Love. " - Mumuuse
"Ylva Lindberg's brittle vocals gently strokes the great sounding pop arrangements and make sure that the album never feels boring." - Zero Magazine
"elegant electro-pop that is sleek, stylish and very much deserves your attention." - Arjan Writes
"[Shanghai Shipping] has a fantastic sound to it, it's luscious, beautiful and just brilliant. The description that springs to mind is almost (I'm not a Pet Shop Boys listener, so don't trust me on this) it's like a female version of the Pet Shop Boys and it really, really works! It's got a great beat and it's insanely beautiful! A great track, it's a must listen!" - Fabtastic Music
"Friday Bridge are releasing their second album Bite My Tongue and a breakthrough in wider circles seems likely. Bite My Tongue is a steady step forward from their P3 Guld nominated debut Intricacy from 2007. More distinct, more assured, better sounding - and on top of that, with a bunch of sharper songs. " - Digfi

"...very unusual electropop. Slightly sliced with deranged Pet Shop Boys, Italo Disco, Tortuga and of course ABBA. Theres also a shy-like classical feel to their excellent sounds. And, they are excellent. You can hear Stock Aitken Waterman all over the song "It Girl" and as Sonia once said, its "great!". There is also something a bit royal about them. Perhaps thats the St.Etienne touch that graces some of their finest moments." - Dontstopthepop
