Chants from another place

Description

For his debut album, Chants From Another Place, JONATHAN HULTÉN, the enigmatic Grammy-winning Swedish composer, drew inspiration from folk choirs and a cappella singing in churches. Throughout the album, stories intertwine and musical influences collide. HULTÉN makes comparisons to artists like Nick Drake, Sufjan Stevens, Wovenhand, and Fleet Foxes, as well as traditional folk artists like John Martyn and contemporary ones like Anna Ternheim, José Gonzales, Anna von Hausswolff, Chelsea Wolfe, and Hexvessel. With Chants From Another Place, HULTÉN has created a personal and deeply reflective world that he invites listeners to explore. HULTÉN says that the album "will thematically take you through landscapes of ecstasy, traversing mountains of death and rebirth, navigating seas of adventure, crossing desolate lands of despair and forests of myth. It is an inner journey, and only time will tell which places will be visited depending on its duration. It is a tale of death and spiritual rebirth."
