Urban Cone is a Stockholm-based electropop outfit formed in 2010, emerging during the peak of the global indie-pop blog era. The band, consisting of Rasmus Flyckt, Magnus Folkö, Tim Formgren, Emil Gustafsson, and Jacob William Sjöberg, gained early traction with their debut single 'Urban Photograph.'
Their sound identity is rooted in the Swedish tradition of meticulous melodic craftsmanship, characterized by lush synth layering and a 'bittersweet' emotional core. Their debut album, 'Our Youth' (2013), was notably recorded in a living room, lending a DIY intimacy to their polished electronic sound. They achieved significant international crossover through their collaboration with Porter Robinson on the 'Worlds' album, which solidified their position within the electronic dance community. Critically, they are praised for their ability to juxtapose 'dark' lyrical themes with 'sunshine' melodies. Throughout their career, spanning albums like 'Polaroid Memories' and '10-18,' they have maintained a consistent aesthetic of youthful nostalgia and urban romanticism, positioning them alongside peers like The Royal Concept and Lo-Fi-Fnk in the Scandinavian synth-pop pantheon.
