Here’s the Förr film by Johannes Blomgren just revealed by A Closer Listen showing original, evolving cover art by Kajsa H. Bolve; a beautiful visual counterpoint to the Dött ljus debut single coming your way very soon:

Down in the cement basements of Stockholm, Johan brought cut up tape loops of broken pianos and Petter gave them a pulse. Förr is the debut from Dött ljus…

Riz Maslen aka Neotropic needs our help:

The musician’s life is surely precarious enough without these unwelcome, unexpected things dropping from the sky.

Please chip in if you feel able. Thanks.
