Twilight Melodies: Hans Hjelm's Into The Night arrives this fall
Guitarist Hans Hjelm explores the transition from day to night in his latest instrumental work. The Stockholm-based musician is set to unveil his sophomore solo album, Into the Night, featuring cinematic landscapes of synth-wave and prog rock sounds.
 
Hjelm, known for his work with psych rock outfits Kungens Män and Automatism, has crafted seven instrumental tracks that blend retro-sounding analog synths with driving beats. Recorded in the depths of Swedish November at Helter Skelter studio, the album features a stellar cast of collaborators, including Mikael Tuominen (Kungens Män), Jesper Skarin (Gösta Berlings Saga), Per Wiberg (Switchblade, ex Opeth), and guest guitarist Gustav Nygren (New Rose).
 
Into The Night invites listeners to the space where the familiar blurs into dreamlike uncertainty, echoing the nocturnal overtones that inspired its creation.
 
The album will be released on September 27, with a limited press of 300 vinyl copies, in collaboration with Majestic Mountain Records and Sound Effect Records. As the day fades, Hjelm's music illuminates the path Into the Night - will you follow?
All songs written and arranged by Hans Hjelm, except Waiting for the Zone written by Kungens Män, Shores by Hjelm, Skarin, Tuominen, and Wiberg, and Artnam by Hjelm and Sunbring.
