Part of the group Blända, Swedish artist Magnus Josefsson will release his first solo album which includes many first rate musicians. First track The Map is a dreamlike instrumental which features Craig Gannon from The Smiths! on mellotron, Christoffer Gunrup from The Amazing on bass, and it was mastered by Slowdive's Simon Scott.
Josefsson comments: "The song flowed out of me beyond thoughts and understanding. With guitar, amplifier, pedals and a computer. It became a method to move forward. It started as a journey of discovery inside me but developed into a compass for the rest of the album."
This is the first release from the artist's new label The Mirror Factory which centres on a deserted mirror factory in his hometown of Fröseke.
