Anekdoten is a Swedish progressive rock band, comprised of guitarist/vocalist Nicklas Barker, cellist Anna Sofi Dahlberg, bassist/vocalist Jan Erik Liljestrom and drummer Peter Nordins. They are notable for the use of the mellotron and the heavy and trippy sound, dominated by a pounding bass guitar. Their music is associated with the tradition of 1970s progressive rock music, especially the one of King Crimson, but they have also covered songs by Van Der Graaf Generator and Magma on their live performances.

My mind's falling down endless tunnels
until I find myself in the void
Somewhere down there
I could hear them calling me
through walls of silence I heard them weep
The wheel was just about to roll me over
and for a moment I lost control
Stars were falling and worlds colliding
I always knew that they would track me down
Tried so hard to break through to the surface,
but entered into yet another dream
I held tighter on to the lifeline
and sensing light I broke free!
