Linnea Hjertén Announces Her Upcoming Debut Album ‘Nio systrar’
A synthesis of Swedish folk melodies and ritual ambient, Linnea Hjertén’s debut album ‘Nio systrar’ (“Nine Sisters”) will drop in 2024.
Born from the synthesis of Swedish folk melodies and ritual ambient, Linnea Hjertén’s debut album Nio systrar (‘Nine Sisters’) is a wordless invocation of primordial energy – a psychoacoustic gateway to altered states of consciousness. The upcoming release is expected to reach audiences in early 2024.
With a musical maturity far beyond her years, Hjertén channels the ethereal beauty of Dead Can Dance, the spellbinding chants of Kari Rueslåtten, and the minimalist Nordic atmosphere of Forndom. Each of the nine tracks brings the listener deeper into the cycle of spiritual death and rebirth, stripping away the old to make way for the new.
Linnea comments on the upcoming release:
“Most of Nio systrar was recorded in my small closet with the lights off and the door closed. In that setting, I can sense a closeness to my voice that I only find in solitude and darkness. My focus shifts to the intention I infuse into the sound waves. I’ve also mixed and produced everything at home; my apartment is a playground for music and magic. It mainly consists of books, altars, and instruments.”
While the compositional structure and its development became purely intuitive for Hjertén with ideas coming from different contexts. The artist states:
“The melody is the story. It’s mostly intuitive – but when I develop the composition, some music theory is automatically applied because I’ve studied it. It’s simply a tool.”
Trained in music production, Linnea relishes the creative journey from inner melody to the final mix, unearthing the exact tools needed to craft the perfect musical space. From ambient to folk, from jazz to various forms of metal – her music is less about the style and more about a different quality, sound, or purpose. Crafted with an expansive love for diverse genres.
