Homeland was set up as a refuge for the
songs of Mikael Carlsson in Malmö, Sweden. Homeland is always Mikael
Carlsson and associates who tend to come and go with the
passage of time.
In 1994 Mikael was invited to play guitar in Barbie
Loves Ken, which was fronted by Ola Lundin on guitar and
vocals. The two teamed up and later formed Ogden Flood,
a rock-combo heavily influenced by the slack rock of
Pavement and Archers of Loaf. Ogden Flood recorded
several jam sessions and demos with drummer Johan
Dahlbeck before they parted their ways for individual
soloprojects. Ola went off with Dustin Diamond and
Mikael with Royal Cassette, which soon became Homeland
in 1998.
In 1999 the debut album "Songs About Living" is released
on Grace Recordings. Mikael also joins the band David &
the Citizens playing bass, then swiching to drums, and
tours and records albums intensively until 2006 when the
band reforms. Mikael leaves the band. During the time
with the Citizens Homeland takes the opportunity to tour
Sweden with Richard Buckner, and playing local shows
alongside the Microphones, My Morning Jacket, Halifax
Pier and more. In 2004 the Australian label Cumbersome
Records decides to re-release Songs About Living. Mikael
also played an important role in local acts such as
Motel North, The Following Sea and Happy Go Lucky. The
Homelandhome music factory is always producing new
Homeland material as well as other fine local artists.
Mikael attended school in 2006 and have two more years
before he masters in the field of health care.
