Själen is a Stockholm-based duo consisting of Johan Jan Jonason and Mats Andberg. Spirit High is their debut album, arriving after the band’s previous Studio Barnhus appearances with 2020’s heartfelt ballad “Älska mig” as well as a single release of this album’s title track in summer 2021. On Spirit High, multi-instrumentalist Andberg together with album co-producer Axel Boman weave a shimmering lo-fi tapestry that frontman Jonason vigorously tears apart using simple iconic phrases delivered with a unique singing voice – naïvely desperate, delicately forceful. No posing, just transparency! No nuances, just the pure expression of Själen! Out December 10 on Studio Barnhus.[info sheet from distr.]
