Urban Cone is a Swedish indie pop band from , formed in 2010 by current members Emil Gustafsson, Rasmus Flyckt, Tim Formgren and Jacob William Sjöberg and former member Magnus Folkö while the members, who all shared a passion for music were all still in high school.

The band’s debut album, Our Youth was released in 2013 and was produced and recorded in Flyckt’s living room. The group has received praise from music blogs such as BrooklynVegan, Vice/Thump, Idolator and Stereogum.

The group first met success in late 2010 with their debut single, Urban Photograph, which received high praise and exposure on music blogs around the world and reached #2 on Hype Machine after the release of the band’s Our Youth EP in December 2012. The EP received positive feedback, with Earmilk.com writing: “The EP exemplifies what Urban Cone is at its finest, staying true to their roots and presenting honest, gritty dance/pop."

After the release of Our Youth, Urban Cone tried its hand in the U.S. market in January 2013 by performing in New York City, Brooklyn, Los Angeles and San Francisco. On May 8, 2013, the group dropped their debut album, Our Youth which received more than nine million streams only a few months after its release.

In 2014, Urban Cone collaborated with Porter Robinson on his song Lionhearted (8). Their next single, Sadness Disease was released on October 7 and described by Billboard as “uplifting at first, but the lyrics are an even deeper dive into sadness, loneliness and exhaustion”. “We write music in an attempt to create sunshine. It’s a reactionary impulse to create light out of the darkness. If you listen to the lyrics, they’re quite dark. It’s serious music that’s made for dancing,” Flyckt said of the song. Urban Cone released their second album, Polaroid Memories, on April 29, 2015.

Urban Cone has collaborated with electronic dance music artists Porter Robinson and John Dahlbäck and fellow Swedish musician Tove Lo.
