Known for his work with Opeth and Spiritual Beggars, Swedish multi-instrumentalist Per Wiberg this time has crafted the new solo EP “All Is Well In The Land Of The Living, But For The Rest Of Us… Lights Out” showcasing a bright and eclectic creative approach.
The journey begins with the cinematic soundscapes of “All Is Well” which relies on intricate atmospheric arrangements and soulful vocals that can evoke somber feelings amplified by the gloomy melodic accents.
On “In The Land Of The Living” the complex keyboard layers easily create a surreal mood spiced up by the catchy rhythmic patterns and the smooth chorus in contrast with the enigmatic instrumental passages which can acquire darker nuances.
“But For The Rest Of Us…” feels like a nocturnal soundtrack creating a distant dreamy sonic realm as haunting piano melodies flow gently through a darkened ambient maze carefully built by elaborate multilayered arrangements.
“Lights Out” focuses on an eloquent vocal performance and a poignant melodic & atmospheric ensemble emphasizing an inner darkness that will ultimately reach the acme with a sophisticated guitar solo.
Undoubtedly “All Is Well In The Land Of The Living, But For The Rest Of Us… Lights Out” will appeal to music connoisseurs as Per Wiberg embraces a dazzling avant-garde style to create a unique work of music.
