When I am numb or feeling underwater, ground can often replace sea
I open my eyes and it’s a brand new life. The difficult past made a better me
When loved ones become distant shades, forgotten memories
A value is found at the right angle right now I’m so glad that you’re here with me
And when we sing with our hearts open that vulnerable power will overcome
Cynicism, fear, dismissive judgment can’t ever touch us when we feel love
the stream, will take us, where we, never dreamed
Josaleigh sings about old sleep singers the truth of her words brings me home
Good friends can be ground when winds get heavy as we embark into the unknown

Per Störby Jutbring invites listeners into a whimsical, eclectic soundscape with his upcoming album, **_Tenants Of Misty Mansion (According To The Landlord)_**, releasing November 22 via HOOB Records. Rooted in the airy, minimalistic tradition of Scandinavian music, the award-winning Swedish composer masterfully blends traditional orchestration with modern electronics. His signature style features a rich palette of piano, strings, ambient landscapes, and strong melodies that seamlessly intertwine the organic with the electronic.
Ahead of the album’s release, Jutbring unveils the elegiac opener, **“Swan Shaped Kite,”** showcasing his intricate layers of neo-classical instrumentation. This track perfectly embodies the lo-fi charm and hi-fi grandeur that define the album’s unique character.
Thematically, the concept album imagines the “tenants” in Jutbring’s mind—a quirky array of musical personas residing in a metaphorical mansion. From the Jump synth in the boy’s room on the third floor to the basement poodles mixing fugues with Björk-inspired sounds, Jutbring acts as the landlord, orchestrating harmony among his eclectic inspirations.

A deeply personal and evocative work that pays homage to the composer’s heritage and the enduring spirit of Finland, A. Blomqvist’s Pohjola is rich with emotion and cultural significance, and offers listeners a profound exploration of Finnish identity through the lens of a composer who has lived through stories of war and peace, tradition and modernity. The album is set for a January 17th release via XXIM Records/Sony Masterworks.
This collective memory of a nation that has endured and thrived reflects A. Blomqvist’s own journey, one that is as compelling as the music he creates. His perspective on life and art was shaped and moulded by hearing about the horrors of war through the stories of his grandfathers and his own experiences as a peacekeeper in the Middle East in 2016. That career gave him a unique understanding of the world’s harsh realities, but it also ignited a desire to create something timeless that could transcend the darkness he had seen.
It’s a solitary piece emblematic of the reflection done by A. Blomqvist on the album, with ornate accents that marks the song with a classic undertone.
