Jonathan Hultén returns with new album of ambient dream-grunge titled ‘Eyes Of The Living Night’ + shares the first single ‘Afterlife’

Building on the haunting beauty of his 2020 debut album Chants From Another Place, Swedish songwriter Jonathan Hultén returns today with news of his highly-anticipated follow up Eyes Of The Living Night, set for release on 31^st January 2025.

The first single from the new album is titled ‘Afterlife’ and is out today with a captivating new music video filmed at Westlanda Flygplats by Jakob Johansson of @kollurudproductions. Speaking about the single and video, Hultén shared “In “Afterlife,” your soul is pulled into the underworld, thrust into a labyrinth with no option but to navigate its cold corridors. Haunted by its ghostly inhabitant intent on draining your life energy, you must press forward.”

“While going through this trial, you also discover hidden treasures along the way—important emotions and insights—that help guide you on your path through the seemingly endless night. When you finally reach the burning candle at the heart of the labyrinth, you realize that all along you were on a quest to find all those hidden treasures, and that they actually were things you had once lost—namely, parts of yourself.”
