Jonathan Hultén is a Swedish singer-songwriter whose artistry crosses conventional genre boundaries. Drawing inspiration from an eclectic mix of influences—including blues, film scores, electronica, and the works of illustrators such as Tove Jansson and Yoshitaka Amano—Hultén has crafted a sound and aesthetic which he describes as “Ambient Dream-grunge”. His debut solo album, Chants From Another Place, released in March 2020, is a deeply introspective work that invites listeners into an immersive world of melancholic poetry.

Hultén’s approach to music is highly holistic, building a unique universe through self-produced visual art and atmospheric live performances. Video performances and hand-drawn animated music videos accompany many of his songs; these visual elements, often imbued with themes of nature, solitude, and transformation, serve as an extension of the emotions conveyed in his music.

The 31st January 2025 the second full-length album, “Eyes Of The Living Night”, was released on Kscope. Hultén comments: “The 12 songs will transport you through sonic spheres of adventure rock, dream pop, bluesy passages, classical interludes and acoustic folk. The many influences reflect the different emotional stages of the album that each song embodies in its own unique way. And like every journey, each step as well as the whole is a passage from one stage to the next, into eternity.”
