Daniel Ögren

Multi-instrumentalist and producer Daniel Ögren has not only created ground-breaking works within his own solo material, but he also had a decisive role in the development of many of Sweden’s biggest artists’ productions. The long-awaited new solo album “Pine” was briefly described as an instrumental Dina Ögon, or is the band Dina Ögon perhaps born from the musical style that has always been contained within Daniel’s solo projects? Regardless of which was born first, the music seems to have come to life through a cluster of sources of inspiration. Jazz, folk, soul, rock and pop are mixed together into an almost unrecognizable mass which is then allowed to blossom in its own exclusivity. The music is driven by playful, porous and feather-light guitar figures and beautiful beats. Relaxed, caressing and shimmering, a rhythmic, floating swing. Afternoon sun and a high clear late summer sky at the festival site couldn’t blend better with this shimmering soundscape.
