Uppsala, Sweden. November 6th, 2020
The record company Adora releases another album in their instrumental series Viva. This time the duo Stephen Carlson (Brotthogg, Peter Carlsohn’s The Rise, Christian Liljegren, Tales) and Jonatan Samuelsson (Narnia, Starmen) joined forces to record the album Selah, which will be released in December. The album is distributed worldwide by Sound Pollution. Artist name for this instrumental series is “Viva”, and this is the third album in the series.
On December 4th, Adora releases two albums in their instrumental series Viva: Danne Tibell – Tell Me the Story and Selah featuring Stephen Carlson and Jonatan Samuelsson.
Selah is considered the third album in the series and like its predecessors Divina with Anders Mossberg (Jerusalem, Larm) from 2018 and Tell Me the Story with Danne Tibell (Jerusalem, XT, Larm), it’s all about instrumental hymns and songs, but musically this album takes out the turns a little more.
This time, guitarist Stephen Carlson (Brotthogg, Peter Carlsohn’s The Rise, Christian Liljegren, Tales etc.) participates on guitar, bass and keyboards, Jonatan Samuelsson (Narnia, Starmen) bass, keyboards and percussion, as well as drummers Johannes Karlsson (Safemode) and Magnus Forsberg (Mildrid & JamtGroovet, MamboCompaneros, etc.), and Lorens Palmgren (bob K, etc.), who have programmed loops. The album is produced by the duo Stephen and Jonatan and mastered by CJ Grimmark (Narnia).
Well-known Christmas.hymns such as My Heart Always Wanders and Veni Veni Emmanuel are mixed with lesser known hymns, as well as some self-written songs.
Viva is an album series with focus on the songs rather than a certain artist. This means that the participating musicians on the albums will vary.
Selah is released by Adora/JONO via Sound Pollution, December 4th, 2020.
