‘Aftersun’ by Hans Hjelm | New Album, ‘Into The Night’
Hans Hjelm, the renowned guitarist from psych rock bands Kungens Män and Automatism, presents ‘Aftersun,’ a mesmerizing video from his latest album, ‘Into The Night,’ recently release by Sound Effect Records and Majestic Mountain Records.
This instrumental piece serves as an evocative exploration of the transition from day to night, inviting listeners into a dreamlike realm where the familiar becomes wonderfully uncertain.
Set against the backdrop of Stockholm, the video captures a nocturnal journey through its streets, intercut with intimate, up-close performances of Hjelm’s guitar work. The visuals act as a perfect companion to the cinematic soundscape he has crafted, blending retro-sounding analog synths with driving beats that transport the audience to a place where reality and dreams intertwine.
‘Into The Night’ marks Hjelm’s sophomore solo venture, showcasing seven instrumental tracks that delve into the realms of synth-wave and progressive rock. Recorded in the depths of a Swedish November at Helter Skelter studio, the album features an impressive lineup of collaborators, including Jesper Skarin on drums, Mikael Tuominen on bass, Per Wiberg on keyboards, and guest guitarist Gustav Nygren from New Rose.
Hjelm’s music paints expansive landscapes that resonate with a palpable sense of night, echoing the quiet mysteries that twilight brings. As the sun sets and the shadows lengthen, ‘Into The Night’ invites listeners to embrace the unknown, navigating the space where familiar melodies blur into surreal sonic experiences.
This album will be available in a limited edition of 200 copies on striking canary yellow vinyl. Don’t miss the chance to journey into the night with Hans Hjelm—where every note is a step into the extraordinary.
