Album Notes & Community Reviews

Accompanied by legendary Toto session musicians like Jeff Porcaro and David Hungate, 'Earmeal' is a masterclass in slick, West Coast-style jazz-funk. The Swedish guitar virtuoso navigates highly polished, groove-heavy instrumental tracks with exceptional fluidity and melodic sensibility. The album firmly established his international reputation beyond his extensive work as an ABBA studio musician.
