The band, formed in 2006 by Swedish musician Simon Balthazar, blends elements of folk, indie rock, and post-punk with eclectic instrumentation like trumpet, violin, mandolin, musical saw, clarinet, and saxophone. The concert, which took place during the band's trip from Baltimore to Philadelphia, included a holiday song performance as requested by All Songs Considered host Bob Boilen.
