Initially, the musical journey that Kenneth was on was ░▐ ▌░ supposed to be a solo album, but morphed into a brand new ░▐ ▌░ band after the chemistry between the players he was working ░▐ ▌░ with became apparent. ░▐ ▌░ Vocalist Ulrich Carlsson (Shaggy, ex-M.ILL.ION), bassist ░▐ ▌░ ╓rjan Josefsson (Cibola Junction), drummer Johan Koleberg ░▐ ▌░ (Wolf, Therion, Hammerfall, etc.), and keyboardist Kay ░▐ ▌░ Backlund (Lions Share, Nils Patrik Johansson, Impera, etc.) ░▐ ▌░ round out the Starchaser lineup. The album, largely composed ░▐ ▌░ by Jonsson and Carlsson, was produced by Roger Bergsten at ░▐ ▌░ Nevo Studio in Sweden. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ After leaving Tad Morose, Swedish guitarist Kenneth Jonsson ░▐ ▌░ decided to focus on songwriting. He had an idea to combine ░▐ ▌░ his 'outside' musical influences into the hard rock/metal ░▐ ▌░ genre he was known for. By 'outside' musical influences, ░▐ ▌░ think of composers like Phillip Glass and Max Richter, whose ░▐ ▌░ inspiration will show up here and there throughout the band's ░▐ ▌░ songs. He was able to quickly assemble a nice batch of songs ░▐ ▌░ and thus set to work to find the fellow musicians who could ░▐ ▌░ help him bring his vision to life. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ His first choice for a singer was Ulrich Carlsson (Shaggy, ░▐ ▌░ ex-M.ILL.ION), whom he felt has the perfect mix of clean and ░▐ ▌░ raw tone in his voice. Ulrich is also very melodic in his ░▐ ▌░ approach and of course, an incredibly nice guy to work with. ░▐ ▌░ Ulrich wrote all the lyrics and vocal melodies for the songs ░▐ ▌░ and came up with some arrangement ideas which Kenneth felt ░▐ ▌░ made the songs sound even better.Kenneth later asked ╓rjan ░▐ ▌░ Josefsson (Cibola Junction) to handle bass duties. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ Having known ╓rjan for a long time, he was Kenneth's first ░▐ ▌░ choice for the role as he really needed a bass player who ░▐ ▌░ thinks musically the same way he does. As with Ulrich, ╓rjan ░▐ ▌░ contributes to the songs in a meaningful way and fits ░▐ ▌░ perfectly into the concept of the band.A long time ago when ░▐ ▌░ Kenneth played with Torch, he became very good friends with ░▐ ▌░ drummer Magnus Ulfstedt (ex Eclipse, Jimi Jamison, Nordic ░▐ ▌░ Union). Magnus was initially supposed to play on the ░▐ ▌░ Starchaser album, but schedules didn't work out. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ Fortunately, Magnus kindly helped Kenneth get in contact with ░▐ ▌░ Johan Koleberg (Wolf, Therion, Hammerfall, etc.), who turned ░▐ ▌░ out to be a perfect match.Since Kenneth's songwriting is ░▐ ▌░ based on the piano, he needed a skilled keyboard player who ░▐ ▌░ could help him develop his ideas into bigger ideas, so he was ░▐ ▌░ able to get in contact with Kay Backlund (Lions Share, Nils ░▐ ▌░ Patrik Johansson, Impera, etc.). Kay agreed to play keyboards ░▐ ▌░ on the album and suited the concept perfectly. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ As time passed, Kenneth realized this wasn't going to be a ░▐ ▌░ ôsoloö album because of all the positive and meaningful input ░▐ ▌░ from Ulrich, Kay, ╓rjan, and Johan. Together, they decided to ░▐ ▌░ form a brand new band which they named Starchaser and the ░▐ ▌░ band will now unleash their self-titled debut album upon the ░▐ ▌░ world this May! ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ▄▄▄┌─────────────┐▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ░▐ ▌░ ▒▒▒│ marr │▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ░▐ ▌░ └─────────────┘ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ indie . pop . rock . shoegaze . dream . jangle . twee ░▐ ▌░ chamber . noise . c-86 . college . goth . post rock ░▐ ▌░ kraut . post punk . darkwave . alternative . lo-fi ░▐ ▌░ country . americana . folk . folk/rock . progressive rock ░▐ ▌░ psychedelic rock . stoner . doom . sludge . desert . fuzz ░▐ ▌░ grunge . metal . heavy metal . hair metal . hard rock ░▐ ▌░ drone . aor . classic rock . southern rock . west coast ░▐ ▌░ hardcore . punk rock . garage . library . soundtrack ░▐ ▌░ avantgarde . classical . electronic . ambient . new wave ░▐ ▌░ synthpop . leftfield . experimental ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ░▌░ ░ █ █ ░ ░▐░ ▌░ ▓▓█ █▓▓ ░▐ ▌░ ░█ █░ ░▐ ▌░ █ ░ ▒ ░ ░ ▒ ░ █ ░▐ ░ ▌░██ ░ ▒█████░ ░█████▒ ░ ██░▐ ░ ▒ ░ ▌░█ ░ ███▓ ▓██ ▒ ▒ ██▓ ▓███ ░ █░▐ ░ ▒ ░██ ▌█▓ ████ █▒ ▒█ ████ ▓░▐ ██░ ░██████░ ███ █ █ ███ ░██████░ ██████ ███ █ █ ███ ██████ ▒███ ███▒ ██ █ █ ██ ▒███ ███▒ ████ ████████ ▒ █ █ ▒ ████████ ████ ████░ ███████░ ░░ █ █ ░░ ░███████ ░████ █████░ ████▒ ▒ ▓█ █▒ ▒█ █▓ ▒ ▒████ ░█████ █████░ ██████████ ███ █ █ ███ ██████████ ░█████ ▒██████ ░ ███████▒ ████▒▒█ █▒▒████ ▒███████ ░ ██████▒ ░ ███░ ███ ░ * █▓▓ ▓▓ ▓▓█ * ░ ███ ░███ ░ █░ ███ █░ *** * * █▒█▒▒██████▒▒█▒█ * * *** ░█ ███ ░█ ████ ██ * ████████ ████████ * ██ ████ ████████ * *** ░ ░██████ ██████░ ░ *** * ████████ █████ ** ░ ████ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ████ ░ ** █████ ▒█████████████▒▒ ░░ ░░ ▒▒█████████████▒ ░▓██████████▒ ░░ ░░ ▒██████████▓░ ▒█████ ░░ ░░ █████▒ ███ ███ ██ ██ ▒█ █▒ https://www.deezer.com/album/291398192
