But his lush, highly melodic pop is both striking and familiar enough to easily transcend language barriers. A social worker by profession, originally hailing from Malmo and later based out of Stockholm, Johansson made his debut in 2005 with "OK, Ge Mig Timmarna" ('OK, Give Me Hours'.) Released under the name Jonathan Och Hjaltar (Jonathan and Heroes), with a band that included Emil Svanangen of Loney Dear. The album's guitar-based indie pop garnered some favorable comparisons to Hakan Hellstrom, but little attention overall. After several years of tinkering with and refining his sound, trying out different configurations of musicians and approaches to recording, he hit on a style he liked in the Uppsala basement studio of drummer/producer Johan Eckeborn. Making prominent use of an old Yamaha DX7 synthesizer, their recordings - like those of many of Johansson's contemporaries - were highly reminiscent of early-80s synth pop and New Romantic music (as emphasized by a Swedish-language cover of Tears for Fears' 'Everybody Wants To Rule The World'), although not excessively electronic, and with a spacious, gently anthemic quality redolent of bands like U2 and the Arcade Fire. In 2008 he signed with Hybris Records (home to like-minded artists including Juvelen, Montt Mardie, and Vapnet) and releasing the well received single "En Hand I Himlen" ('A Hand In The Heavens') under his rather pedestrian given name. The full length debut, "En Hand I Himlen", followed early in 2009 and was followed by the critically acclaimed "Klagomuren" in 2011. Later signed to Sony Music, Johansson issued "Ett Sprak For Dom Domda" in 2013, and "Lebensraum" in 2015. Johansson started 2016 with releasing the single "Real Thing", which was followed by "Sommarklader" - a soundtrack for cold drinks in late, humid summer sunsets. "Love & Devotion" is now here, Johansson's fourth album. ┌────────┐ ────┤ Group ├───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── └────────┘
