Tvärvägen – At rest and in motion LP

At rest and in motion. Alone in an apartment and weightless in infinity. Melody and rhythm. Accordion and synthesizer. Seemingly contradictory and defined categories, though they might as well be one and the same. On his fourth album as Tvärvägen, Henrik Öhberg has gone back into the bedroom studio, playing all the instruments by himself, after the venture into music for strings and piano on “This river so red”. At the same time he has stepped into new open rooms, expanses and spaces, where simultaneously familiar and elusive melodies and physically present acoustic sounds sails through modulating synths, echoes and freely flowing piano rolls.

The album features a bubbling remix of “A love duet for fragile hearts” by future funk Skweee pioneer Beem.
