A remarkable debut from the Gothenburg-based musician, drawing on early medieval polyphony and traditional Nordic music to create a free-flowing New Age experimental music. Like coming across a moss-covered chapel in an overgrown forest, Gwethilu feels like an encounter with something both ancient and organic—both timeless and firmly rooted in time.

FROM THE LABEL:

Gwethilu: Songs for the Dark Lake, the debut album by Gothenburg-based musician and composer Timoteo Carbone Hansson, invites listeners into an alternative sound world where experimental music, early medieval polyphony, and traditional Nordic roots collide.

Pushing the boundaries of musical form and harmony, the album offers a meditative yet imaginative experience punctuated by lavish rhythmic modulations. To bring this haunting landscape to life, Carbone Hansson utilizes a diverse array of modern and traditional instruments, each specially crafted and custom-tuned by the artist for this project.

Recorded in 2024-2025. Mastered for vinyl by Lasse Marhaug. Cover artwork by Gemma Hansson Carbone. Edition of 300 copies, comes with a 8-page Gwethilu: Songs For The Dark Lake compendium.
