Description

One bent corner

Debut album from the folk space rock child of Jakob Ljungberg, drummer for death metal band Tribulation. The album, ‘Hopp/Förtvivlan’ (Hope/Despair), features roughly half an hour of the finest hard rock psychedelia, with influences ranging from Steeleye Span and Nektar to Jethro Tull and Hawkwind with words sung entirely in his native Swedish. Jakob Ljungberg tells more: The influences varies but in general I’d say it’s experimental music from the sixties and seventies that inspires me the most. Hawkwind, Eloy, Jethro Tull, Popol Vuh and the likes. Then I have to mention (especially Irish) folk music which inspires me a lot! The record Midsummer’s Night by Dervish is one of those records that I’ve listened to countless times and still find new things in. The band who inspired me to actually get started and finishing the album is the fantastic Wolf People. One of the best bands in existence!
