Composer and singer <a href="spotify:artist:25xBek6l238QcKWArMrEqw" data-name="Jonas Svennem">Jonas Svennem</a> had lost his mother to cancer a few years earlier, and writing songs became a way of channeling the grief and expressing the full range of conflicting emotions. Over a three-year period the sextet set out for an ambitious and thorough work that shaped the band&#39;s timeless and unique sound, with black-edged, inspirited and personal lyrics, richly layered organic arrangements and a spacious lustre of sounds and soulful melodies.
The band toured the album extensively, playing club settings as well as some of Sweden’s finest venues, including a collaboration with the acclaimed <a href="spotify:artist:446mV2yNk82K3T6TW1j7Ot" data-name="Hans Ek">Hans Ek</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:5RPC9qmn51lbekntS9L8Op" data-name="Norrlands Operan Symphony Orchestra">Norrlands Operan Symphony Orchestra</a>.
