Chants From Another Place - Jonathan Hulten - Audio CD (Arrives in 20 days)

NEW EDITION OF THE DEBUT ALBUM FROM THE ENIGMATIC SWEDISH GRAMMY-WINNING SONGWRITER JONATHAN HULTÉN.

The musical inspiration for singer/songwriter JONATHAN HULTÉN’s debut album ‘Chants From Another Place’ is drawn from acapella folk & church choir compositions. Throughout the album, tales are weaved & musical influences collide as HULTÉN draws comparisons to artists including Nick Drake, Sufjan Stevens & Fleet Foxes, as well as traditional folk artists Bert Jansch & John Martyn right through to his contemporaries in Anna Ternheim, Chelsea Wolfe & Hexvessel.

HULTÉN has created a deeply reflective & personal world that he invites listeners to explore. Recorded solely by HULTÉN in his studio in Stockholm, Sweden, the twelve compositions that make up ‘Chants From Another Place’ were mixed by Ola Ersfjord from Cuervo Recording Service in Madrid, Spain.

The album’s debut single, ‘The Mountain’ is a potent yet minimalistic ode to loss & hope, accompanied by a video produced & animated by HULTÉN himself, & takes influence from Tolkien, Tove Jansson & art nouveau illustrator Aubrey Beardsley.

The cover art is a self-penned portrait, reflecting the melancholy found within the songs on the album & an insight into HULTÉN’s unique persona.

HULTÉN says that: “Chants From Another Place will thematically take you through landscapes of ecstasy, passing mountains of death & rebirth, sailing seas of adventure, traversing wastelands of despair & forests of myth. It is an inward journey & only time can tell which places will be visited under its duration. It is a tale of spiritual death & rebirth. ”

JONATHAN HULTÉN will join CHELSEA WOLFE on tour in the US in 2026.

This new edition of ‘Chants From Another Place’ is presented as a digipack on reverse board with a 16 page art booklet printed on offset paper.
