SWEDISH SINGER-SONGWRITER JONATHAN HULTEN RETURNS WITH HIS
NEW ALBUM 'EYES OF THE LIVING NIGHT', AVAILABLE ON DIGIPAK CD WITH
12-PAGE BOOKLET & LP - THE FOLLOW UP TO THE EXTRAORDINARY DEBUT
ALBUM 'CHANTS FROM ANOTHER PLACE'
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 & coproduced 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 infuence 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.
"Staggering emotional depth, as well as an astonishing poetic economy, his less-ismore 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
"The title Eyes Of The Living Night is about reawakening a sense of awe & wonder in
one's perception of the world" Hulten comments. "Finding imagination to be a key to
breaking free from the wheels of stagnation & to rediscover hidden treasures within
the depths of one's mind. To plunge into the abyss of your own fears & anxieties & to
emerge on the other side, transformed by the experience. The "living night" as a
concept symbolizes the mystery & hidden creative potential, we all carry." - Jonathan
Hulten
The new album follows extensive European touring from Hulten throughout 2023 &
2024, most notably his recent series of shows supporting legendary act, The Cult, in
Europe & the UK, with a North America tour confrmed in February 2025 with Uncle
Acid & The Deadbeats.
