Laponia III

by Daniel Ögren

TheBloodofChrist Great album, starts out warm fades into blues and ends on something serene. “Vinter” speaks like it’s seen some things and been through a lot, singing a song for those really down and out. Favorite track: Vinter.

brian1green Beautifully transcendent album, an unexpected musical journey. Favorite track: Rakkasjokk.

nandikesha This song consistently pulls out of me the emotions that are hardest for me to access and I don't have an explanation for that, but dang am I thankful for it. What a beautiful work this is. Favorite track: Rakkasjokk.

about

"The summer of 2021 I traveled with my family to the northern parts of Sweden. I wanted them to experience the wild, windblown nature where I used to spend my childhood summers. When I saw my kids play by the very same streams, rocks and trees I played by as a child - the songs started to emerge.
I wanted to honor my grandmother and her heritage by using the names of places given to them by the Sámi people"

The critically praised and the ever-evolving Swedish musician, composer and artist Daniel Ögren (Dina Ögon, Sven Wunder) lives in the shadow of his music and while he's still mostly unknown by the great mass his music has started to gather a strong alliance of followers and fascinated listeners.

Sing a song fighter are eager to share this new solo album "Laponia III" which is a fascinating, truly moving and exciting album.
Like on his last album "Fastingen-92" (which was released in 2020 and featured the underground hit "Idag" sung by Anna Ahnlund and was perhaps the starting point for the two forming the band Dina Ögon),the new album is once again written, recorded and mixed by Ögren himself.

This special and characteristic music has its roots in South American folk music, soul, nordic folk music, psychedelic pop music, obscure soundtracks and improvisations, but when you listen to Ögren´s music it´s very hard to define it. It seems familiar, ancient and alien at the same time. With cinematic gestures he manages to create a completely new universe full of strange and fascinating life.

Daniel on Laponia III":
"Laponia was regarded a world heritage around the same time as I really discovered it's beauty as a young teenager. My relatives and family all have their roots there, up north in Sweden (it's my Grandma on the cover) and this is my album dedicated to all the places and memories I have of Laponia."
