What We Say

As the northern hemisphere skies are coloured grey, the cold winds taunt & the reservoirs fill once more, Strulgattu aided by the graceful strings of Meierkord & Messy Weekend Records, ruminate on the changing seasons in classic chill out fashion, helping to ease my start of week reticence & gently nudge me towards the inevitable workload.

What The Release NOtes Say

When we make music, we always try to find a leitmotif. This album is about the four seasons and the weather, a popular topic when doing small talk with strangers, but also a subject for scientific observation in meteorology. When does the spring start? Is this really summertime? Is it autumn now? The album title “Ankomstkarta” (Arrival Map) refers to a map the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) use to define when different seasons arrive in Sweden, and the four songs are named after blog posts discussing this topic. The seasons are something we experience with our senses, and we also associate them with sounds. This is something we’ve tried to create here. Lately, this issue has become a disquieting matter. It has transformed from being a convenient way of getting in touch with people, to something that also concerns an existential dimension about our common future. This dark feature also comes from through in the songs featured here.
