Detektivbyrån ("The Detective Agency") is a Swedish electronica and folk music trio from Gothenburg. The group consists of Anders "Flanders" Molin (accordion, music box); Jon Nils Emanuel Ekström (drums, sound box, small bells); and Martin "MacGyver" Molin (glockenspiel, traktofon, toy piano).
The three members grew up in the small town of Karlstad Sweden, located in Värmland County, but they did not form a band until they had moved to Gothenburg in 2005. The usage of more unusual instruments such as the accordion was inspired both by its prominent use in the soundtrack for Amélie as well as musical traditions in Värmland. As the band also played as street musicians there was originally also a requirement to have portable instruments such as the glockenspie.
Between 2006 and 2008 the band toured extensively and also participated in several Swedish radio and tv shows including a program at MTV Europe. Their song "Nattöppet" was in 2007 featured in a Sprint Nextel television ad.
On September 3rd, 2008, Detektivbyrån released their first full-length album, Wermland. The band was nominated for two Grammis awards, as newcomer of the year and folk music of the year in 2008. In addition they were also nominated for an award at Manifestgalan as the best live act of 2008.
In February 2009 Jon Nils Emanuel Ekström left the band, leaving the two remaining band members still working on the future album tentatively named "Beyond"]. The band has also recently been contributing to the soundtrack of the american film Tenure.
