JANSSON, BROR GUNNAR
FACELESS EVIL, NAMELESS FEAR (PLAYGROUND MUSIC)
180g, black vinyl. Bror Gunnar Jansson's newest release is his heaviest but perhaps also his most hauntingly beautiful yet.
The whole album is like a suite moving from emotional strings to heavy riffs and freak out moments.
With the new album Faceless Evil, Nameless Fear he is spinning a tale of corrupt police officers, grim murders, weird deaths, diseases and even love! Jumping between our real world and his own dark universe.
The music is less blues than his prior releases and more of post-grunge, stoner and post-blues in the style of White Stripes, Kyuss and Jimi Hendrix.
In this postmodern age it is not easy to stand out, but fitting in has never been an option for Jansson.
It's imminently clear when you browse through his albums. He floats between and around genres and styles like it were water, or rather air.
It's clear that music is as important for him as the air we breathe.
