Lina Larsson and Andreas Östlund's joint music project, Never Ending Project, is jazzy and spectacular. So we asked them about video games. Naturally.
With a background in jazz, blues and pop, couple Lina Larsson and Andreas Östlund started their joint music project Never Ending Project. The group was formed as a project where they want to give themselves a musical freedom to move between genres like trip-pop, indie-pop and blues-inspired pop, and also to be able to move into reggae if the spirit catches on.
Lina had left the LA music scene and had achieved success with music that has received many placements in TV series and movies. Together we have played in different bands and also written and produced music for advertising. With Never Ending Project we wanted to create a band and a context where we can create and write music exactly as we want and without limiting ourselves. — Andreas Östlund

From the jazzy, reggae feel of Fall in to Grace, to the almost glam-rock of We are Golden and The Darkest One Yet the Biggest Light, there's a lot to love here. Honestly, you should check them out!
