Aye Nevo perfect chill out music.. loved it.. great music and vocals..

TheSlowMusicMovement Another proud moment, the new Jörgen Kjellgren is out. It's a consummately crafted, pleasantly melancholic, cosmic Americana & Ambient Folk meditation on life's ups & downs. It really is a lovely listen. If you get a moment hit play, he's good company. (Pay What You Want as well!)

about

What TSMM says:
Jörgen has been making a name for himself in recent years as an accomplished ambient artist with a string of releases on notable labels. With the Hollywood EP for TSMM he dusted off his guitar to fine electroacoustic ambient effect, and has now decided to get a few thoughts out of his head and on to paper. Needless to say his attention to sonic detail and mellow vibes have been perfectly integrated into this pleasantly unhurried, most thoughtful Cosmic Americana meets Ambient Folk meditation on life's ups and downs.

What Jörgen says:
After my first release on the Slow Music Movement in 2020 Hollawood (theslowmusicmovement.bandcamp.com/album/hollawood), I started writing lyrics and singing again. I've done a lot of that in the past but had gone off it for a few years. I did early morning sessions, writing rough lyric drafts and then rearranging lines, almost in a blackout poetry kind of way. I disciplined myself not to overthink what the songs were about. Or if they even made much sense. Instead, I wanted to see what stories I was telling when I wasn't really paying attention.

Now that I think about it, a lot of the music I make happens when I'm sort of looking the other way. I'll steal away for 15 minutes and jot something down or work on a few chords or a loop. Before I know it, there's a song there.

So, what's Bluebird about, then? I'm not entirely sure myself. Perhaps it's best to listen with the mindset I had when writing these songs. Don't focus too hard; there's nothing there to figure out. Instead, be with the music and see if it tells you anything.

Even if Bluebird is, in some ways, my most expansive release to date, the gear list is pretty minimal. Of course, my trusty old Gretsch and Martin guitars are there. The rest is a jumble of guitar pedals, samplers, and synths.

Towards the end of most projects, I'll come up with something that I think will spark a new album, something I want to explore further. As I'm writing this, the etudes are that thing. But who knows, not me. I do hope you'll enjoy these Bluebird tunes. I had a lot of fun making them.
