TRYGGHET began in 2006 with an elevator-ride in its hometown Amsterdam, a place with little need for elevators. The group consists of Martyn Heyne (Guitar/Hamburg) Sam Sowyrda (Vibraphone/NewYork) and Martin Hiltawski (Bass/Prüm).
After jamming extensively for 6 months they abducted a vibraphone from the conservatory and road-tripped to Hamburg where label-owner Arne Römer and Audiotect Nils Frahm where waiting for them with croissants and raspberry-jam.
When they started recording it had snowed for the first time that year, whereupon they respectfully decided that the further production of their debut-record should take another two and a half years.
Just listened to your music. Very cool and attractive ! Hope we'll meet some day. Listen to a french band called "Habitat Farine", I'm sure you'll like it. See you !
