Swedish producer and DJ Axel Boman announces a new label, Blurry, with the release of a new album – ‘Tell It To The Mountain’ – a collaboration between Axel Boman himself and acclaimed German producer Superpitcher. “I’ve dreamed of having a platform where I can experiment with art and music for a while now, and this album feels like the perfect project to launch it with”, says the Studio Barnus co-founder.

Swiss wiz kid and long-time friend Laurenz Brunner is enlisted for the art direction and will make sure that Blurry won’t be following trends or holding back on bold ideas. The story behind ‘Tell It To The Mountain’, the first album to be released on Blurry, begins with a transformative hike to Sweden’s Helags Glacier.
Three days of pushing both mental and physical abilities to the max left Axel and Superpitcher in a state of mind that was equal to exhaustion and inspiration. In that state they began making music that felt like it was writing itself, boundaryless and beautiful, pushed by instinct rather than thought, inspired by this overwhelming experience.
“I’ve admired Superpitcher for decades now. He is a master of suspense, melody, repetition and groove. He has been highly influential in my own work, and I’ve been wanting to collaborate with him for years,” says Axel.
Axel Boman & Superpitcher’s ‘Tell It To The Mountain’ LP is out on all digital platforms and on 2×12” vinyl on September 25 after the single ‘True Crime’ arrives on August 11, on Blurry.
