The Fermats are dead, long live The Fermats! As soon as possible, we'll make all of our recorded songs available here at the site, as well as eight or nine new songs. One of them is Ode to the Code.

Goodbye!
The Fermats
We released two records; the third one was on its way but, unfortunately, was never finished.

Released: 11/07/2003
Tracks 1 and 4 by Leo Nathorst-Böös. Tracks 2 and 3 by Markus Magnuson. Tracks 5 and 6 by Leo and Markus. All instruments were played by Leo and Markus, except the drums, which were played by Håkan Waara. Vocals by Leo and Markus, except on track 1 by Anna Jansson. All songs were produced, recorded, mixed and mastered by Leo and Markus during three months in mid-2003. Special thanks to Mikaela for lying on the sofa, Andrey for the band name, and Tumlarmedia for broadcasting us on television. Very special thanks to Björn Magnuson for lending us drums and recording them for us. Oh, and of course, a great thanks to Propellerheads for lending us their CD-duplicator and Kenneth Magnuson for printing high-quality covers.

The Fermats was formed in a moment of sheer creative rush on a beautiful summer's day. Our ambition was to make happy, catchy pop songs with a touch of humour, and to keep the Swedish indie-pop scene alive. As time has passed, we have turned the band into something quite more serious than what it was that summer. The Fermats consisted of three members when founded; Leo, Markus and Anna. Later on, we invited Gustav to play bass with us during the live shows. And eventually, we decided to use real drums on the recordings (rather than drum-machine), and therefore Håkan joined us. Nowadays, Håkan no longer plays the drums (madman Justus took care of that at our remaining two gigs at the time), and later on, Niclas took care of the drumming. Also, Anna decided to call quits a while ago, so until we've found a new female vocalist (you know any?) Markus and Leo sing. The Fermats are:

Leo Nathorst-Böös (guitar, vocals)
Markus Magnuson (guitar, keys, vocals)
Gustav Ågren (bass, backing vocals)
Niclas Sjöbeck (drums)
