Oskar Lindstrom - Fugue

Oskar Lindström is one of Sweden´s most captivating young pianists and composers. After being nominated by Swedish national radio as "newcomer of the year" in 2017, he now releases his debut album as a leader. "Fugue" exclusively features Lindström's distinctly lyrical original compositions, drawing inspiration from the strong tradition of Nordic piano trios as well as folk music and chorales. Alongside Lindström's personal and precise touch on the piano, fellow Swedish musicians Eirik Lund and Filip Olofsson, who have backgrounds in various styles of music apart from jazz, offer an intriguing addition to the musical discourse. The album was recorded at the renowned Nilento studio outside Gothenburg in the early spring of 2018 with recording engineers Michael Dahlvid and Joar Hallgren and mix and mastering by Michael Dahlvid and Lars Nilsson.
