The Carpet Knights is a progressive rock band from Malmö, Sweden. The band was formed in '98 and after several demos the debut album, "Lost And So Strange Is My Mind" was released on Transubstans Records (Trans 009) in 2005. The new album “According to life..”(Trans049) was unveiled the 14th of October 2009 and this creation spells it out loud: Here are the new Swedish progmasters! As musicians they are eager to challenge themselves but the strength of The Carpet Knights lies within the ability to maintain the energy, yet to focus on good songs and a personal expression.
Most music and lyrics are composed by Jocke Jönsson during his scheduled creative Tuesdays (laundry days). Arrangements are thereafter completed collectively during rehearsals. Lyrics are mostly reflecting emotions, atmospheres and a certain state of mind, rather than actual events.
In the creative process inspiration is gathered from a wide variety of music resulting in a broad and experimental sound including everything from rock, prog, psych to folk. All band members are music addicts and record collectors of great measures and hence musical inspiration comes from four decades of folk, prog, rock, metal and psychedelia. The most essential driving force for these musicians is the genuine feeling that creating and playing music is an absolute life necessity.
You can't beat the feeling of listening to good music with a cold beer in your hand
