The stunning, self titled debut album from Swedish singer/songwriter John R. Kjellström is a dark, gloomy and beautiful
piece of melancholy. Recorded by Halden’s six-string genius Freddy Holm, who also plays the majority of the instruments,
this is the perfect album for those dark and rainy Autumn evenings
A songwriter since the age of five, Kjellström grew up in a very musical family, surrounded by rock and country records.
A keen hip hop kid, who got turned onto punk via skateboarding – and then metal, garage rock and dark americana and
singer/songwriters.
This debut album has been recorded with producer and multi-instrumentalist Freddy Holm, dubbed “Norway’s greatest
musician” by record mogul Christer Falck. Holm is known for playing with Luke Elliot, Tove Bøygard, Åse Kleveland, Iain
Matthews + + +, and is a magician on almost any instrument.
This is heavy melancholy, the way only the Swedish know how to do.
