The fourth release from Discreet Music is another seemingly out-of-nowhere debut album from Gothenburg artist Klas Trollius. Although probably best known as a DJ and a visual artist, the origins of this collection of songs goes back to as far as 2010 when the very first version of the exceptional opening track 'Över Ett Fält' was recorded.

On Sånger Till En Människa, Trollius explores the connection between music and place, letting specific location recordings become an important part of each track. The reworked 'Över Ett Fält’ — a loose interpretation of John Martyn’s 'Over The Hill' — is a 8+ minute+ epic that immediately sets the tone and mood for the rest of the album: acoustic guitar, hushed vocals and heavy use of field recordings. The shorter 'Koltrast' is the closest we come to a fully realized acoustic pop song, Klas himself citing Razorcuts' fantastic 'Sorry To Embarass You' and several shoegaze songs as an influence.

More improvised tracks like 'Gitarr, Klockspel Och Isdemoner' and 'Isdemoner För Flöjt, Trumma Och Vind' fully lets the nature become one with the instrumentation in the spirit of Schwarzwaldfahrt or something from the Jewelled Antler Collective.

Truly bewildering organic music. Dedicated to the memory of his Father, King Tubby and Elsa Grave.

Edition of 400 copies.
