Ljug Aldrig

Ljug Aldrig is ”Roosen”, a visual artist, singer and songwriter born in Bromsten, outside Stockholm, Sweden. 

Roosen holds a Fine Art Master's degree from the Royal Academy in Copenhagen and has exhibited his own art in a wide range of exhibition contexts. Throughout his life he has also been making music – writing lyrics and singing, with guitar and synths. 

In 2020 Roosen started a collaboration with the musicians/producers Anton Toorell and Alex Zethson. In the spring of 2022 came Ljug Aldrig’s first release on Zethson’s label Thanatosis produktion. A limited edition two-sided 7” single with the tracks Stabbings and Juiced.

In 2019 he recieved a phone call from the artist Elliphant who had heard his earlier demos, and asked him to record some of his songs together with her and the producer WDL. One of the songs that came out from the sessions was Seashells, now to be published on Thanatosis produktion.
The song is a manifestation of Roosen’s strong songwriting, his unconventional use of melody and harmonics and his poetic, gripping lyrics, rooted in emotions and lived experiences. Like all of his songs, it shows how rough experiences can be transformed into stunning works of sonic art.

Currently, Roosen/Ljug Aldrig is working on his debut full-length album.
