  • Komeda is een Zweedse popband uit Umeå. De band is vernoemd naar de Poolse jazzmusicus en filmcomponist . Komeda maakt lichtvoetige, urbane popmuziek, met referenties naar filmmuziek, easy listening uit de jaren 60 en de repetitieve elementen van minimal music en Krautrock. Onder de lichtvoetige klank met eenvoudige melodische elementen liggen arrangementen die worden gedomineerd door vaak ritmisch verschoven, complexe harmoniek.Stilistisch is Komeda verwant aan de band Stereolab.
