To listen to the lush music of Lars Eriksson<\/a><\/strong> is to allow yourself to be transported to a distant shore. Recently released is the first single from his forthcoming 6-track EP. “I Love You Now” is a beautifully fluid piece that flows around a gypsy violin and Eriksson’s softly sensuous vocals.<\/p>\n

Lars Eriksson is a Swedish-born musician who first came to public attention following appearances on the Swedish Idol TV show in 2008. By that time, in his late 20s, he had already written 200 songs. He played piano at age 5 and started writing music when he was 9, performing at his school. He took up guitar at 16 and played with friends under the band name “The Jisreels” at local shows and on tour.<\/p>\n

His previous recordings, which can be listened to on Spotify<\/a><\/strong>, include Dictions and Contradictions<\/em> (2012), Rust and Golden Dust<\/em> (2011), two demo albums titled As It Were<\/em> and If You Will<\/em>, plus EPs Inconsequencia<\/em> and Lonely Jim<\/em>. Eriksson collaborated with Elin Sigvardsson<\/a><\/strong> on the single “Love,” which reached #5 on the Swedish singles chart, and also worked with Anders Bagge<\/a><\/strong> and Birger Pettersson (High Gear Music label).<\/p>\n

The songs on the new EP were written on the Swedish island of Gotland<\/a><\/strong>, during a three-year period when Erikkson lived there. The mood of this special places infuses the songs, some of which incorporate mystic elements that conjure ancient times. The title, Guds v\u00e4n och allas fiende<\/em>\u00a0(“Friend of God and enemy of all”), was the battle cry of theVitaliebr\u00f6derna\u00a0pirate gang, who lived on the island of Gotland in the Middle Ages.<\/p>\n

On the EP, Eriksson (who performs on acoustic guitar, vocals and pump organ), is joined by David Ahlan (studio technician Gotland, violin), Magnus Olsson (drums), Carl Ekerstam (electric guitar), Jonas Nilsson (double bass) and Elin Ivarsson (background vocals).<\/p>\n

The digital-only release of the EP is on September 15, preceded by the second single, “Breadcrumbs” (August 15).<\/p>\n
