History

Blue Foundation started out in 2000 based on Tobias Wilner, aka Bichi's cooperation with various artists and musicians.The music can be described as a mix of melodic dreamy pop influenced by indietronica and shoegaze. Tobias Wilner called it "folk music for modern people". Blue Foundation released their first 7" via MoshiMoshi (Hot Chip, Bloc Party etc)[1] and their first, self-titled album was released shortly thereafter. During the past several years, Blue Foundation have expanded their audience, embracing both the underground and the alternative mainstream. Blue Foundation's music has been featured in major films such as Twilight,[2] Miami Vice and the TV series The O.C.. Blue Foundation released their third album Life of a Ghost in Scandinavia in 2007. The album was released in USA on Astralwerks in 2009.
