Yung Lean is one of Sweden’s most creative artists. He is limitless, fearless and ever curious to explore the art’s intoxicating world. He followed up 2017 year sovereign album ”Stranger” to do a show together with the cullberg ballet in summer, dropping an uncompromising hiphopmixtape in the fall and will soon make his first gig with the punk band the Death of Mark.
the recording of the second fullength under the name of Jonathan Leandoer127, its most experimental side project. It is a more focused album than its predecessor ”Psychopath ballads”. Inspiration comes this time from the sunny folk rock, slirig jazz, pounding The Strokes-pop and Bob Dylan’s most hallucinatory texts from the mid-1960s, all filtered through the lo/fi-beats and Leandoers deeply personal expression.
Best tracks: ”Wooden girl”
