Release Date 31st January 2025
Building on the haunting beauty of his 2020 debut album 'Chants From Another Place', Swedish songwriter Jonathan Hulten returns this year with the highly anticipated follow-up - 'Eyes Of The Living Night'. Recorded at Stockholm's Chanting Studios & co-produced with Ola Ersfjord (Lady Blackbird/Tribulation/Monolord), 'Eyes Of The Living Night' is a remarkable showcase of Hulten's distinctive blend of folk, rock & pop. Drawing influence from the likes of Bert Jansch, John Martyn & Nick Drake as well as contemporaries such as Anna Ternheim, Chelsea Wolfe & Hexvessel, Hulten's music both acknowledges the genre's heritage & reinvents it in innovative & intriguing ways.
>br> "Staggering emotional depth, as well as an astonishing poetic economy, his less-is-more approach creates a sense of reverence & vulnerability that invest the material with a potent vitality" - Metal Hammer
'Eyes Of The Living Night' delves deep into the human spirit. Merging the raw emotion of his earlier work with a more expansive, otherworldly sound, Jonathan Hulten has created an album that shimmers, taking listeners through the decades of rock, synthpop, blues & folk on a journey best described as "Ambient Dream-grunge". "His multi-tracked vocals make for goosebump-raising ASMR" - Classic Rock
