A Conversation With Christian Kjellvander

Tender; intimate; reflective; I could continue on searching for the most appropriate description for Christian Kjellvander’s latest solo album, Hold Your Love Still. As Christian says during our conversation, his previous solo outing, About Love And Loving Again was about a relationship breakup, getting his bearings straight in the aftermath of a lost love, whereas Hold Your Love Still sees the…

The AM: January 23, 2023

Jeremy Klaszus of the Sprawl joins in the third hour to talk about Calgary's civic identity—a topic that's endlessly engrossing to folks who live here, and hopefully tolerable to those of you who don't. If you're here for the music, you'll be well-served, too. We've got an eclectic mix, from Quebeçois chanson to psych-pop, Danish ambient tunes to Dylan-inspired blues. All the better to start the week with. Enjoy!

Christian Kjellvander - “Notes from the Drive Between Simat and Alcoi” (2023)

#youtube

[bitpartinyourlife]

11 september är årsdagen för en mängd historiska händelser, inte minst är det årsdagen för min och E:s första kyss. Det hände sig i Gamla Stan, efter att vi klivit i land från Blidösundsbåten, där vi precis sett Oddjob, den sista ljumna sommarkvällen 2016. Vi har firat jubileum hela veckan, känns det som, med presenter (jag fick Elin Unnes bok “I Odödliga Odlares Sällskap”), goda middagar och, igår, en favorit i repris. Inte riktigt på årsdagen, två dagar för sent, såg vi Christian Kjellvander på Blidösundsbåten. En fin konsert, men lite för trångt för att vi skulle kunna ge Kjellvander den uppmärksamhet han förtjänade. Andra akten tillbringade vi ute på däck, där vi såg Stockholms alla nattljus reflekteras i det svarta vattnet medan vi tryckte under varsin yllefilt och hörde favoriten “Poppies And Pionies” genom en högtalare. Fint det med

One of promotional photos for Tobias’s solo album Passiflora taken in April 2008 at the Omberg mountain in Sweden by his friend Emil and the album cover.

Passiflora was never officially released, but several songs from the album were available to listen on his Myspace page, including Lucifer et Lucia, The Breeze, House of Affection and Savant Garde. Unfortunately, the only songs to have survived online to this day are House of Affection and a live performance of The Breeze (often wrongly attributed to Magna Carta Cartel). Tobias played his first solo show with the help of Martin, Arvid and Simon from MCC on March 27, 2008 at the Linköping Konsert & Kongress where he opened for Swedish singer-songwriter Christian Kjellvander. He then went on to do a few more shows at small clubs & local festivals mostly in Linköping. Passiflora was set for a release sometime in 2008 but, for reasons unbeknownst to me, it never saw the light of day.

Here’s the story of how the album came to be as told by Tobias himself, taken from his website:

“I was born in Linköping, twenty miles south of Stockholm on March 3rd, 1981. Growing up together with my mother and a thirteen year older brother meant exposure to a lot of music, ranging from jazz and the classic sounds of the sixties in one ear, and seventies punk rock, new wave, heavy metal and the contemporary pop of the eighties in the other. All these different influences mixed with the more extreme underground metal I got obsessed with as I met adolescence in the early nineties has coloured my writing a lot. My record collection of references reaches from Abba to Venom, from Beatles to Bauhaus, from Jimi Hendrix to Hüsker Dü, from Pink Floyd to Possessed and lots more. I started playing guitar when I was eight years old, when my father taught me how to play “Tutti Frutti” and “Brev från Kolonien” (Cornelis Wreesvijk). With my new found knowledge and the message that most songs consists of the same chords I began trying to pick out all the songs I listened to at home, my first project being Kiss “Alive”. And some years later I began forming bands and trying to get them floating, which proved being really hard. And with no functioning band, there were few reasons to stay in Linköping…

Upon moving to Stockholm in 1997 and the formation of my first “real” band Repugnant a year later, all my efforts from now on were put into a musical career. During our six year existance we had four figure sales of demo cassettes, seven and twelve inch EPs. In 2002, we recorded our one and only full length album “Epitome of Darkness”, which was posthumously released in 2006. The band was officially put to rest in April 2004, after almost two years of almost total inactivity, apart from some smaller tours. Repugnant went through several line-up changes. Myself being musicwriter in chief and not always a very democratic initiator of the band, often lead to clashes with the other members. Something that unfortunatly kept occurring in the band that proceeded Repugnant, Subvision. With the intention of making something different than the death metal that I had become synonymous with, I wanted to create music with a slightly more melodic/pop edge (the wish was to make something along the lines of Voivod’s “Angel Rat” album from 1991, which is known as their pop/goth album). I formed Subvision in the end of 2002 and throughout our five years of existence, we released “The Killing Floor EP” (2004), full length album “So Far So Noir” (2006) and did loads of live performances.

After nine years living in Stockholm, I decided to move back to my town of birth Linköping in September 2006, hooking up with my friends in Magna Carta Cartel (to make a long story short). Following a period of writing during the fall, and demoing and rehearsing during the winter/spring, the recordings of a new album commenced in the early summer of 2007, a production which eventually ended in December the same year. Initially intended as the second album by Subvision, it was decided in early 2008 by the other guys and myself that “Passiflora” was to be my solo debut. And here we are…“

Influences: Tom Verlaine, Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Morrissey, Johnny Marr, The Doors, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Syd Barrett, R.E.M., Echo & The Bunnymen, David Lynch, U2, Ennio Morricone, Angelo Badalamenti, Hüsker Dü, David Bowie, Blondie, Black Sabbath, David Grohl, James Hetfield, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, John Frusciante, Robert Smith, The Misfits, Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeuz, Rick Rubin, Phil Spector, George Martin and many many more.

Sounds Like: “All the sad variety of hell”

Christian Kjellvander- Hold Your Love Still (Tapete)

Christian Kjellvander is a Swedish songwriter and though he’s Scandinavian born and bred, he did spend some of his formative years in the Seattle, WA area which was long enough to let some of our country’s musical influences, namely country and gothic folk, seep into his music.

This is his first album since 2020’s About Love and Loving Again and while that one was more autobiographical, this our looks outward on a variety of topics (one song is called “Disgust for the Poor,” which he rails against wealth).

The first thing you’ll notice is his voice, a deep baritone that sounds like no other, strong and resonant and an instrument in itself. Opening cut “The Western Hemisphere” is more spare and lovely while there’s a full band on the epic, sweeping “Notes From The Drive Between Simat and Alcoi” and “Terns Took Turns” is a tender love song that includes brushed snares and gorgeous piano.

Elsewhere  the previously mentioned “Disgust for the Poor” is the most rocking thing on here (some well-placed howls, too) and the album closer,  “Dream 2066” delivers on all fronts, offering hope and beauty in the not-so-distant future.

You could do a lot worse than discover the true talents of this wildly talented/big hearted songwriter.
