Releasenotes:
If I take the wings of the morning and settle at the farthest limits of the sea,
even there your hand shall lead me
Last winter, the ┼hlΘn family moved to Stenkumla parsonage (monastic community)
on Gotland, where the album was recorded. If you listen carefully, you can hear
the children and the ocean winds yanking at the old windows. But mostly, you can
hear David's unique voice and finger-picked guitar. At times sprinkled with
music from Andreas Ekl÷f's zither or American Timbre's harp. Percussionist Peter
Stolpestad plays minimally, charging every beat with presence. Several voices
sing in the background and a few piano notes chime from Andreaz HedΘn and Alma
Hedlund Emilsson. Then they all take a backseat and it's back to the Voice and
the Guitar. The Voice - so fragile in falsetto, yet large enough to fill
cathedrals. When listening to Selah (David's first full length of David ┼hlΘn on
VOLKOREN) one might find the same atmosphere as that's found on Spirit of Eden
by Talk Talk. The ambiance, the sounds and arrangements, in all inspired by the
spirit...
David has had a similar youth as David Eugene Edwards of 16 Horsepower and it's
not by chance both artists found their way on VOLKOREN a small Dutch independent
label that always has an eye for music that's a true blessing to both heart and
ear.
In the past David Ahlen has toured with artists like Jonathan Johansson, Bradley
Hathaway and Loney Dear. He's looking forward touring Europe more in the near
future, excited on what the new release will bring.
