Our Take

Kristofer Åström, the Swedish singer-songwriter once described as the lovechild of Tom Waits and Nick Cave, has returned with his latest offering "So Much For Staying Alive." And let me tell you, this album is like a musical rollercoaster through a haunted forest - equal parts ominous and exhilarating.

From the haunting opening track "Drops In The Ocean" to the cathartic closer "A Hard Bargain to Strike," Åström takes listeners on a journey through the depths of his soul. His gravelly vocals and raw lyrics paint a picture of a man grappling with life, love, and everything in between.

The production on this album is nothing short of genius, with layers of instrumentation that build and swell like a storm on the horizon. Each track is a carefully crafted masterpiece, with every note and chord serving a purpose in the grand scheme of things.

Standout tracks include the hauntingly beautiful "Satellite Blues" and the bittersweet ballad "Rivals." But really, there isn't a weak track to be found on this album. It's a testament to Åström's talent and longevity in the industry.

In conclusion, "So Much For Staying Alive" is a triumph for Kristofer Åström, a reminder that sometimes the best music comes from those who have been in the game for years. So grab a glass of whiskey, put on your headphones, and let yourself get lost in the dark magic of this album. You won't regret it.
