Wintergatan (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈvɪ̂nːtɛrˌɡɑːtan], "the Milky Way", lit. '"the Winter Street"') is a Swedish folktronica band from Gothenburg. Martin Molin and Marcus Sjöberg were previously part of the former band Detektivbyrån.
The band released their first track in late 2012, titled Sommarfågel, and released their debut album Wintergatan in 2013.[3] The band toured with the album around Sweden in 2014 and 2016; Julia Jonas substituted for Evelina Hägglund during some 2014 performances.[4][5]
