One album under the belt and an EP that was featured in Clash magazine, according to one reviewer, Prince of Sweden's lyrics and songwriting are “second to none in terms of the UK scene right now.”
Brought up in the country, he learned guitar from the guy with the farm opposite his house. In his early twenties, he moved to South London and has been consistently playing shows and releasing music since.
"With a voice capable of speaking directly to the soul", Prince of Sweden deals in timeless-songwriting and poetic lyricism, over an experimental, post rock sound.
2025 sees the release of his second full-length album, The Start of Something Beautiful.
The album was recorded in the summer of 2024 at Zigzag studio in Woolwich, London, on the roof of a warehouse in the Dockyard Industrial Estate. The studio boasts a variety of old keyboards and synths as well as a huge bucket of percussion instruments, many of which make an appearance on the album. Think cowbells, bongos, a fish guiro, tambourines and a spring attached to a wood plank called Electric Lobotomy.
Marc Ribot style guitar solos and bursts of Ralph Carney inspired sax, Beirut-esque layered backing vocals that sound like the amateur church choir in Rocks and Waves song circle, and Prince of Sweden’s trademark lyricism, which balances the heartfelt and the humorous. All this sits on top of percussion that varies from 606 drum machine lines to Haitian funeral march thuds and snare-based shuffle.
