Jonathan Hulten - Chants From Another Place - Music & Performance - CD

2020 release from the darkly enigmatic Swedish Grammy-winning songwriter, also known as guitarist in blackened-death metal vampires Tribulation. The musical inspiration for singer/songwriter Jonathan Hultén's debut album is drawn from a capella folk and church choir compositions. Throughout the album, tales are weaved and musical influences collide as Hultén draws comparisons to artists including Nick Drake, Sufjan Stevens and Fleet Foxes, as well as traditional folk artists Bert Jansch and John Martyn right through to his contemporaries in Anna Ternheim, Chelsea Wolfe & Hexvessel. With Chants From Another Place, Hultén has created a deeply reflective and personal world that he invites listeners to explore. With little to link Chants From Another Place to his death metal alter-ego there are flashes of gothic darkness interwoven into the album's acoustic tapestry.
