But his lush, highly ░▐ ▌░ melodic pop is both striking and familiar enough to easily ░▐ ▌░ transcend language barriers. A social worker by profession, ░▐ ▌░ originally hailing from Malmo and later based out of ░▐ ▌░ Stockholm, Johansson made his debut in 2005 with "OK, Ge Mig ░▐ ▌░ Timmarna" ('OK, Give Me Hours'.) Released under the name ░▐ ▌░ Jonathan Och Hjaltar (Jonathan and Heroes), with a band that ░▐ ▌░ included Emil Svanangen of Loney Dear. The album's ░▐ ▌░ guitar-based indie pop garnered some favorable comparisons to ░▐ ▌░ Hakan Hellstrom, but little attention overall. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ After several years of tinkering with and refining his sound, ░▐ ▌░ trying out different configurations of musicians and ░▐ ▌░ approaches to recording, he hit on a style he liked in the ░▐ ▌░ Uppsala basement studio of drummer/producer Johan Eckeborn. ░▐ ▌░ Making prominent use of an old Yamaha DX7 synthesizer, their ░▐ ▌░ recordings - like those of many of Johansson's contemporaries ░▐ ▌░ - were highly reminiscent of early-80s synth pop and New ░▐ ▌░ Romantic music (as emphasized by a Swedish-language cover of ░▐ ▌░ Tears for Fears' 'Everybody Wants To Rule The World'), ░▐ ▌░ although not excessively electronic, and with a spacious, ░▐ ▌░ gently anthemic quality redolent of bands like U2 and the ░▐ ▌░ Arcade Fire. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ In 2008 he signed with Hybris Records (home to like-minded ░▐ ▌░ artists including Juvelen, Montt Mardie, and Vapnet) and ░▐ ▌░ releasing the well received single "En Hand I Himlen" ('A ░▐ ▌░ Hand In The Heavens') under his rather pedestrian given name. ░▐ ▌░ The full length debut, "En Hand I Himlen", followed early in ░▐ ▌░ 2009 and was followed by the critically acclaimed ░▐ ▌░ "Klagomuren" in 2011. Later signed to Sony Music, Johansson ░▐ ▌░ issued "Ett Sprak For Dom Domda" in 2013, and "Lebensraum" in ░▐ ▌░ 2015. "Love & Devotion" followed in 2016. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ Led by the single "Ar Du Passionerad", Johansson now release ░▐ ▌░ his brand new full length album "Scirocco" co-produced with ░▐ ▌░ Samuel Starck. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ▄▄▄┌─────────────┐▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ░▐ ▌░ ▒▒▒│ marr │▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ░▐ ▌░ └─────────────┘ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ indie . pop . rock . shoegaze . dream . jangle . twee ░▐ ▌░ chamber . noise . c-86 . college . goth . post . kraut ░▐ ▌░ darkwave . alternative . lo-fi . country . americana ░▐ ▌░ folk . folk/rock . psychedelic . progressive . metal ░▐ ▌░ heavy . hair . math . grunge . classic . southern . aor ░▐ ▌░ west coast . punk . garage . avantgarde . classical ░▐ ▌░ electronic . ambient ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ░▌░ ░ █ █ ░ ░▐░ ▌░ ▓▓█ █▓▓ ░▐ ▌░ ░█ █░ ░▐ ▌░ █ ░ ▒ ░ ░ ▒ ░ █ ░▐ ░ ▌░██ ░ ▒█████░ ░█████▒ ░ ██░▐ ░ ▒ ░ ▌░█ ░ ███▓ ▓██ ▒ ▒ ██▓ ▓███ ░ █░▐ ░ ▒ ░██ ▌█▓ ████ █▒ ▒█ ████ ▓░▐ ██░ ░██████░ ███ █ █ ███ ░██████░ ██████ ███ █ █ ███ ██████ ▒███ ███▒ ██ █ █ ██ ▒███ ███▒ ████ ████████ ▒ █ █ ▒ ████████ ████ ████░ ███████░ ░░ █ █ ░░ ░███████ ░████ █████░ ████▒ ▒ ▓█ █▒ ▒█ █▓ ▒ ▒████ ░█████ █████░ ██████████ ███ █ █ ███ ██████████ ░█████ ▒██████ ░ ███████▒ ████▒▒█ █▒▒████ ▒███████ ░ ██████▒ ░ ███░ ███ ░ * █▓▓ ▓▓ ▓▓█ * ░ ███ ░███ ░ █░ ███ █░ *** * * █▒█▒▒██████▒▒█▒█ * * *** ░█ ███ ░█ ████ ██ * ████████ ████████ * ██ ████ ████████ * *** ░ ░██████ ██████░ ░ *** * ████████ █████ ** ░ ████ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ████ ░ ** █████ ▒█████████████▒▒ ░░ ░░ ▒▒█████████████▒ ░▓██████████▒ ░░ ░░ ▒██████████▓░ ▒█████ ░░ ░░ █████▒ ███ ███ ██ ██ ▒█ █▒ https://play.google.com/store/music/album?id=Brscx3tw223mvfzlqetobq4l3aq
