“During all my years as an active musician in different constellations I have also worked continuously with my own material. A kind of unrestricted flow of creativity that has given birth to a lot of different expressions. So listening to this album is a journey through many phases in my life.”V.V.V.V.V is an album with a sound world like a kaleidoscope of moods and melodies flowing between silky kraut pop and distorted synths. Claesson takes on his debut album out experiments desire and lets his kraut background form the basis and tops with modern electronic sound
After 3,5 albums with Aerial in Sandviken it was time to go our semi separate ways. Two changed teams to YAST, one went solo with Simian Ghost. The rest (me and Joakim Westlund) joined a band in Gävle that would later become No Coda, now called The Entire Cast. During all my years as an active musician in different constellations I have also worked continuously with my own material. A kind of unrestricted flow of creativity that has given birth to a lot of different expressions. So listening to this album is a journey through many phases in my life.
It is a special feeling to release this record on Lamour Records. Its founder Viktor Zeidner has time and time again invited me to play on his experimental concert arrangements through the years. And as a solo artist I have always focused on trying things out rather than writing songs. On my album cover is a framed poster of my father’s band he had in the sixties called Jahn Claesons. This album is dedicated entirely to him. He was my biggest supporter, and is still my biggest inspiration.
