Swedish musician / producer Slumberville is pleased to announce a brand new release with the arrival of ‘Forever Young’ featuring Woodes, released this April through Nettwerk.
Melbourne singer-songwriter Woodes (Elle Graham) creates an inspired, ethereal vocal concoction, complementing perfectly Slumberville’s seamless, unfiltered rhythm and production. He says: “Forever Young is like a lo fi hip-hop-pop hybrid. The creative approach was trying to blend Woodes lovely vocals in a rough, bass and drum heavy environment. Sort of like when plants grow through concrete. Arrangement and production wise I aimed at an early Ennio Morricone, or even Bernard Herrmann feel, with the strings and whistle approach – in a minimalistic, polished boom bap, Slumberville environment It was lovely working with Elle. We both worked very fast and flipped ideas quickly. Love her timbre and voice feeling.”
Slumberville (Sebastian Fronda) epitomises lo-fi music and is always trying to simplify. “Simplicity is key. Always.” is his motto. Loving the DIY headspace, the approach and creative freedom, of a ‘bedroom producer’, Sebastian loves incorporating different genres/styles into his lo-fi world.
Sebastian Fronda, has been labelled as one of Sweden’s ‘hip hop pioneers’ according to Swedish national TV documentary (SVT – Den Svenska Hiphopens Pionjärer 2021). The multifaceted musician started rapping and producing in 1999 and has been described as ‘one of the most entertaining hip-hop artists’ in Sweden for his ‘heavy beats, unusually interesting choruses and good flow’. A live force to be reckoned with, Sebastian has amassed over 500 live shows in the Nordic countries, including 3 platinum and 10 gold selling songs.
