- JONATHAN HULTÉN releases the first single & video for “The Mountain”
Taken from his debut solo album Chants From Another Place jonathanhulten.lnk.to/Chants
out now.
Jonathan Hultén, the darkly enigmatic Swedish Grammy-winning songwriter has released the first single & video for track “The Mountain” taken from his debut solo album Chants From Another Place, out now.
The musical inspiration for singer/songwriter Jonathan Hultén’s debut album Chants From Another Place is drawn from acapella folk and church choir compositions. Throughout the album, tales are weaved and musical influences collide as Hultén draws comparisons to artists including Nick Drake, Sufjan Stevens, Wovenhand and Fleet Foxes, as well as traditional folk artists such as John Martyn right through to his contemporaries in Anna Ternheim, José Gonzales, Anna von Hausswolff Chelsea Wolfe & Hexvessel.
“The Mountain”, the album’s debut single (released 10th January), is a potent yet minimalistic ode to loss and hope. Telling a tale of soul in distress, goes forth on a journey and faces death, transformation and rebirth is accompanied by a stunningly emotive animated video, created by Jonathan Hultén himself, taking visual influence from the likes of Tolkien, Tove Jansson and art nouveau illustrator Aubrey Beardsley.
Hultén has created a deeply reflective and personal world that he invites listeners to explore. Recorded solely by Hultén in his studio in Stockholm, Sweden, the twelve compositions that make up Chants From Another Place were mixed by Ola Ersfjord from Cuervo Recording Service in Madrid, Spain.
The cover art is a self-penned portrait, reflecting the melancholy found within the songs on the album and an insight into Hultén's unique persona.
“Chants From Another Place will thematically take you through landscapes of ecstasy, passing mountains of death and rebirth, sailing seas of adventure, traversing wastelands of despair and forests of myth. It is an inward journey and only time can tell which places will be visited under its duration. It is a tale of spiritual death and rebirth.”

Dark folk. Very fine indeed.
An interesting combination of music elements with a Dark Folk in its flow, progressive in its ambient story, and yet it's alternative lite rock. I like it.
Thank you for this terrific album it is truly beautiful and inspiring
oh shit, this is gorgeous. it's funny, based on his stage persona I would have expected something more in line with vintage glam or goth rock, but he's killing it on this. so primal.
Love this song. I couldn't find the lyrics so figured I'd post them. I hope they're right!
Moonlight shines brightly
Laying bare an unseen path
Our hopes and dreams that all had gone away
I see promise in the dark
Released from the shadows
I bathe in time we never had
Walking up the mountain into the big red sun
I'll search far and wide
For all the keys
'Till my spirit suffer fire
Climbing up the mountain, the secrets of the sun
Fall down
Danger, danger
Ground, I am falling down
Wounds run deep, I'm dying
The end is drawing near
I, I did walk
To stay here for so long
For I-I-I, I have come,
To sing the demon songs
I travel on
Standing on the mountain within the blood red sun
I am fire burning in the sky
Standing on the mountain within the blood red sun
Moonlight shines brightly
Laying bare an unseen path
Of dreams and hopes
That all had gone away
I’ve seen promise in the dawn
Released from the shadows
I bathe in time we never had
Walking up the mountain
Into the big red sun
I’ll search far and wide
For all the keys
To my spirit’s love for fire
Climbing up the mountain
The secrets of the sun
Fall down
Danger, danger
There’s no ground
I’m falling down
Wounds run deep
I’m dying
The end is drawing near
I did wrong
To here stay for so long
For I have come
To sing the daemons' songs
I travel on
Standing on the mountain
Within the blood red sun
I am fire, burning in the sky
Standing on the mountain
Within the blood red sun
Nick Drake would be so proud.

Digging this a lot, Jonathan. Both the video and song! Those harmonies are lovely. Reminds me of some of the Swedish folk music groups I listen to. Looking forward to hearing more.
Which Swedish Folk musicians do you listen to?
cool detail, the Swedish text is "hidden" in the pictures.
See you in Bochum!!!

this gaves me chills somehow assuming that it is as quite well made as a skyrim ost H
I just finished watching the show Dark on Netflix and I've been thinking about it how much Jonathans lyrics relate to a lot of concepts in the show. I kind of want to make a music video using the show. If you haven't seen it, check it out.

Devil has the most beautiful music.
Cool video, cool song. I`m going to buy this one for sure (also I don`t like Jonathans fashion-style - but nevermind).
hello to tree crowns

Something between Nick Drake and Tim Buckley, with pagan folk in the background
Very much agree, I'm loving this!
I´m thinking if I ever heard and saw something better...🤷♀
