Woodchucker is Jonatan Nästesjö, 21, from Jönköping but now resident in Lund. He released his debut album Leaves never leave in 2007, and was thereafter named artist of the year on prestigious music site Digfi. Since then, he's put out several ep:s and albums, full of suggestive ambient, piano and string loops recorded in old tape recorders. Woodchucker's music osscilates between fragmentary electronica, sober monotonia and sound art. I'm not sure what Jonatan is going to be up to in August and he probably doesn't know himself, but it's been very beautiful each time I've seen him live.
LIBRARY TAPES
Library Tapes is David Venngren, 29, from Gävle but now resident in Eskilstuna (to continue with the theme). He likes ice hockey and Gossip Girl, but most of all, he enjoys creating fantastic music that you're sure to already be familiar with if you're into dreamy, classic-inspired ambient. David has released many critically acclaimed albums (on labels like Kning Disk and Home Normal) over the last five years, been compared to Erik Satie and Efterklang, and has also toured in Europe, Japan and the US. At the moment, he's getting ready for a couple of gigs in England. Live, it's mostly about live samples with piano and strings, video art in the background and general bliss.
