Dark Folk, Experimental Rock, 2022.
Digipack CD+DVD kiadvány!
Jonathan Hultén, the darkly enigmatic Swedish Grammy-winning songwriter returns with The Forest Sessions.
His 2022 release features experimental versions of songs from the album Chants From Another Place and the EP The Dark Night of the Soul, but it is also a short film composed of music videos and interludes with animated illustrations and poems.
Recorded by Jonathan between January 2020 and June 2022, with mastering and mixing taken care of by frequent collaborator Ola Ersfjord, this deeply intimate work is comparable to classic artists such as Nick Drake, Sufjan Stevens, Wovenhand, John Martyn and Fleet Foxes, as well as to contemporaries like Anna Ternheim, José Gonzales, Anna von Hausswolff Chelsea Wolfe and Hexvessel.
This edition – with stunning artwork by Jonathan – comes with a bonus DVD featuring a collection of music videos that spontaneously evolved into an album. It is also a small collection of poems and animations that tells a little story about letting go of old sorrows and rediscovering a sense of joy and adventure.
