AUDIENCE Network’s multiple series of original and exclusive performances give music fans an intimate view of music’s most influential artists today. The network collaborates directly with musicians to create a unique show from their perspective.

Formed in 2010, Urban Cone–Vocalist/keyboardist Rasmus Flyckt, vocalist/bassist Emil Gustafsson, keyboardist Jacob Sjöberg and guitarist Tim Formgren-has enjoyed substantial success in their native Sweden with their debut album, 2013’s Our Youth, and 2015’s Polaroid Memories, which was also released in the U.S. The band’s sound–feel-good, indie electro-pop–earned them positive praise from such tastemaker outlets as Brooklyn Vegan, VICE/Thump, Idolator, and Stereogum. After touring Europe with fellow Swedish rising star Tove Lo and the U.S. with The Griswolds, Urban Cone began coming up with ideas for their upcoming third album set for release on Interscope Records/Universal Sweden.

This summer, Urban Cone released the new song “Pumping Up Clouds,” the follow-up to the feel-good anthem “Old School” which has racked up over 31 million streams worldwide and made listeners nostalgic for the time when they were less connected technologically and more connected emotionally. The official video for “Old School” was directed by Diane Martel (the 1975, Miley Cyrus, Nicki Minaj, Charli XCX), watch HERE. Earlier this year, Urban Cone toured the U.S. with label mates Nightly playing to mostly sold out audiences and wrapping up the trip with a Club Stage performance at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival. Song’s on the group’s new album while anchored by harder, hip-hop-influenced beats and funky guitars, retain those sparkling melodies that Swedish music-makers conjure up effortlessly.
