Ludwig Hart, who over two albums has established himself as our foremost innovator of classic American road rock aesthetics, has throughout 2024 released songs with a sound that is even bigger than on the artist’s breakthrough album, 2021’s “Paloma”. The song “Less I Try” has been in constant radio rotation in Sweden, Germany and the UK, and Hart has had time to appear on national TV, embark on a major tour with two successful gigs at The Great Escape in Brighton and spend a summer playing the biggest Swedish festival stages.

On his third album “Stay Young” – released on September 27 via Argle Bargle Studios – Hart showcases an increasing freedom to genre and style. From reflective, stripped-down tracks like “Ghost of You” and the title track, we’re taken through the reverb-drenched garage boogie of “Run Run” to the big chorus wind-in-the-hair rock of single favorites like “Less I Try” and “Journey.”

The album is constantly in dialog with its title – it feels young, hopeful and alive. The songwriting is focused all the way through not losing any of the brilliant musicianship and live feeling that has characterized Hart’s recordings throughout his career. We get the trademark guitars, the driving drums and the big choruses, but also production details that are as delicate as they are grand, indicating that Hart is entering a new era where his music feels more contemporary than ever.

STO CULTR is an international act based in Stockholm, Sweden. Julimar Santos and Carl Björsell met collaborating as songwriters for major artists and decided to join forces, and make something really special. The fusion of Carl’s classical and indie vibe with Santo’s blue urban perspective weaved into stories and poetry is sublime. Realizing quickly that they had found something very rare, they set to work immediately on their first album as a group, setting aside all of their other projects.
Coming from Brazil, Julimar Santos moved to Sweden when he was 5. He grew up in Gothenburg and was raised on rap music. He started out as an MC (J-Son) touring and collaborating with many international and Swedish artists. His style flows effortlessly between smooth and classical singing to urban and rap, with a talent for writing real and meaningful lyrics his stories take on a documentary feel as you peer into his world.
Raised on music in the streets of Stockholm, but living in his own universe, Carl Björsell picked up the Guitar when he was 10 and started touring as a multi instrumentalist by the age of 16. Inspired by all kinds of music – from the soulful arrangements of the likes of Curtis Mayfield, D’Angelo and Prince to 90’s rap to Electric Light Orchestra to U2 to pure and simple pop songs – Carl has the ability to combine the two distinct worlds of two poets into one smooth and passionate vibe, that grasps the listener with a simplicity of purpose.
STO CULTR has written/produced music for artists such as Steve Aoki, Axwell /\ Ingrosso, Celine Dion, Westlife, Alok, Ludmilla, H.E.R., Little Mix, Delta Goodrem, Lindsay Lohan, Joe Brooks, Chris Mann, Sunrise Avenue, Sweetbox, Booty Luv, Dannii Minogue, Yall, Garmiani, AronChupa, INNA, KAT-TUN, Madcon, Wax Motif etc

Sunnan is Cinema, Spaghetti Soul. The manifestation of a new genre, praising classical aesthetics and Morricone-esqe soundscapes.

Sunnan, five aging strangers, met and formed through the aligning of three unexpected events: a pandemic creating a space in time, the view from a gigantic panoramic window located in a barn in Sunnanhed, providing the members with an inescapable cinematic perspective. And last, a chance encounter with a legend from Stockholm’s 90s rave scene next door, sharing unorthodox instruments and eccentric philosophies, igniting the band in the founding creative process.

The members, all well known musicians and performers in the Swedish music industry would never have found each other or their sound if it weren’t for these factors. Their debut album “Cinema” encapsulates dusty and warm western soul music, perfect for those moments when life feels like a movie.
