Eyes Of The Living Night - 2025 European Kscope label 12-track LP

SWEDISH SINGER-SONGWRITER JONATHAN HULTÉN RETURNS WITH HIS NEW ALBUM ‘EYES OF THE LIVING NIGHT’, AVAILABLE ON BLACK VINYL LP THE FOLLOW UP TO THE EXTRAORDINARY DEBUT ALBUM ‘CHANTS FROM ANOTHER PLACE’ Building on the haunting beauty of his 2020 debut album 'Chants From Another Place', Swedish songwriter Jonathan Hultén returns this year with the highly anticipated follow-up 'Eyes Of The Living Night'. Recorded at Stockholm’s Chanting Studios & co-produced with Ola Ersfjord (Lady Blackbird/Tribulation/Monolord), 'Eyes Of The Living Night' is a remarkable showcase of Hultén’s distinctive blend of folk, rock & pop. Drawing influence from the likes of Bert Jansch, John Martyn & Nick Drake as well as contemporaries such as Anna Ternheim, Chelsea Wolfe & Hexvessel, Hultén’s music both acknowledges the genre’s heritage & reinvents it in innovative & intriguing ways. “Staggering emotional depth, as well as an astonishing poetic economy, his less-is-more approach creates a sense of reverence & vulnerability that invest the material with a potent vitality” - Metal Hammer 'Eyes Of The Living Night' delves deep into the human spirit. Merging the raw emotion of his earlier work with a more expansive, otherworldly sound, Jonathan Hultén has created an album that shimmers, taking listeners through the decades of rock, synth-pop, blues & folk on a journey best described as “Ambient Dream-grunge”. “His multi-tracked vocals make for goosebump-raising ASMR” – Classic Rock “The title Eyes Of The Living Night is about reawakening a sense of awe & wonder in one's perception of the world” Hultén comments. “Finding imagination to be a key to breaking free from the wheels of stagnation & to rediscover hidden treasures within the depths of one's mind. To plunge into the abyss of your own fears & anxieties & to emerge on the other side, transformed by the experience. The "living night" as a concept symbolizes the mystery & hidden creative potential we all carry.” The new album follows extensive European touring from Hultén throughout 2023 & 2024, most notably his recent series of shows supporting legendary act, The Cult, in Europe & the UK, with a North America tour confirmed in February 2025 with Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats. . This edition of 'Eyes Of The Living Night' is presented on classic black vinyl LP.
