Album Notes & Community Reviews

Returning after a challenging period of writer's block and self-doubt, the Swedish troubadour embraces vibrant, disco-infused indie-pop on his fourth studio album. The incredibly bright, string-laden arrangements brilliantly camouflage his signature self-deprecating, deeply existential storytelling regarding cancer scares, aging, and faltering romance. It represents one of the most sonically joyful and lyrically sharp records in his acclaimed catalog.
