Jonathan Hultén announces debut solo album ‘Chants From Another Place’

Jonathan Hultén has announced his debut solo album!

Titled Chants From Another Place, the upcoming album from the TRIBULATION guitarist is his debut solo album and is scheduled to be released in March next year.

The upcoming album was recorded solely by Hultén in his studio in Stockholm, Sweden, the twelve compositions that make up Chants From Another Place were mixed by Ola Ersfjord from Cuervo Recording Service in Madrid, Spain. The album invites just one other music collaborator, the percussionist Nacho Montero on the song Outskirts.

The musical inspiration for the singer/songwriter’s debut album is drawn from acapella folk and church choir compositions. Throughout the album, tales are weaved and musical influences collide as Hultén draws comparisons to artists including Nick Drake, Sufjan Stevens and FLEET FOXES, as well as traditional folk artists Bert Jansch & John Martyn right through to his contemporaries in Anna Ternheim, Chelsea Wolfe & HEXVESSEL.

Speaking about the upcoming album, Hultén says, “[Chants From Another Place] will thematically take you through landscapes of ecstasy, passing mountains of death and rebirth, sailing seas of adventure, traversing wastelands of despair and forests of myth. It is an inward journey and only time can tell which places will be visited under its duration. It is a tale of spiritual death and rebirth.”
