Stockholm based songwriter Henrik Appel returns with third album Shadows. Ranging from freewheeling garage rock to intimate moments, and adding touches of jazz, Shadows is inspired by the likes of Bob Dylan's Blond on Blonde and The Fall's Hex Enduction Hour and another step of his continued evolution as a songwriter and artist. For as long as he's been a solo artist, Henrik Appel has been in a constant state of evolution. His first album, 2018's Burning Bodies, was a meticulous construction project, one that came togeth-er over a five-year period and that saw him chronicle, with searing honesty, the slow death of a relationship, with it's nine songs written according to a stringent set of self-imposed rules, intend-ed to keep the songwriting minimalist and bare-bones in nature.His 2021 follow-up, Humanity, represented a remarkable progression of it's own. It was born out of a break-up of a different kind, this time with his former bandmates in Stockholm outfit Lion's Den; piecing together aspects of the vision he'd had in mind for the band's never-realised second al-bum, he built from them his own sophomore LP, one that took the classic feel of Burning Bodies and imbued it with adventurous new influences, as he began to carve out a genuinely singular sound.Now, three years on from Humanity, Appel has made another ambitious left turn. Neither of his first two albums were made in complete isolation; on both, he enlisted the production services of Stockholm underground legend Martin 'Konie' Ehrencrona, and also collaborated on his lyrics with his partner, Emma Lind. Now, on this thrilling reinvention of a third record, Appel has turned away from perfectionism, placing chief importance instead on making a raw, human record.
