Hoy is the solo electronic project of Carl Sjöström, who now presents his debut full length album Getting Closer. The record is a cohesive and emotionally resonant body of work, moving through reflective electronic soundscapes where melancholy, restraint, and quiet clarity coexist at a slow and intimate pace.
The album includes the previously released single Out of Love as well as the introspective track Grey. Backing vocals by Karolina Westlund appear throughout the album, adding warmth and depth to the sonic palette. The closing track features Nano Ona, whose presence brings the album to a powerful and emotionally weighted conclusion.
Together, the tracks on Getting Closer form a reflective journey that establishes Hoy as a confident and distinct voice within contemporary electronic music.
Getting Closer is released on streaming platforms and as a digital download, alongside a very limited CD edition.
