Johan G Winther from Gothenburg, Sweden is a talented musician. He's released 7 albums with his amazing and under - recognized rock band SCRAPS OF TAPE, 3 albums with the blackened hardcore band BLESSINGS. Last March, his new post - rock outfit BARRENS launched a stunning debut album that made it onto many 2020 end - of - year lists, including #7 at Where Postrock Dwells' Top albums of the year. 'The Rupturing Sowle' is his solo album, recorded in a small Swedish woods cabin during voluntary pre - corona isolation. Winther says he became a father in 2010, which led to a deep self - reevaluation. He started having recurring dreams that formed a narrative. In 2012 summer, at the cabin, he began recording to match the story in his head. The album focuses on the inborn duality of the human soul, using paired musical ideas and parts, mixing light with dark, beautiful with ugly, sadness with joy, and acoustic with electronic sounds. This emotional contrast, like the opposing flavors in a great dish, defines the album. The cabin where most of the album was recorded is key to its unique ambiance. Winther kept all the natural sounds of the cabin and its surroundings, turning them into characters in the album's story.
