Background notes
Archive material and source history
Daniel Gidlund is a Swedish musician from Karlskrona. He wrote 'Wasteland' in 2012, a song that became central to his work. The track deals with loss and resilience, with its refrain 'I'm a wasteland, but I'm still alive' capturing a particular kind of endurance.
His albums include 'Aether' from 2014, 'Brink' from 2017, and 'Crossroads' from 2020. The music draws from Scandinavian folk and alternative rock, with early influences including Radiohead, Jeff Buckley, and Nick Drake. He has worked with other artists like First Aid Kit, Fleet Foxes, and Röyksopp.
On stage, he performs with guitarist Johan Lindström, bassist Martin Almgren, and drummer Robin Petersson. The songs tend to explore themes of sadness and hope without leaning too hard on either. It's music that sits with difficult feelings but doesn't wallow.
