Albert af Ekenstam

Albert af Ekenstam is a Swedish singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist known for his dreamy, atmospheric blend of indie folk and introspective lyricism. Hailing from Gothenburg, his music often wraps raw emotional vulnerability in lush, cinematic arrangements, creating a sound that feels both intimate and expansive. Tracks like "Ashes," "Hundred Miles," and "Ghost in Us" showcase his knack for pairing haunting melodies with themes of longing, memory, and resilience, earning him a dedicated following in Scandinavia’s indie scene.

While details about his personal life are kept low-key, Albert’s work reveals a artist deeply attuned to storytelling through sound. Releases like "Echoes from the Past" and "Our Stories" lean into his signature fusion of acoustic warmth and subtle electronic textures, while his live performances are praised for their immersive, almost meditative quality. Collaborations with acts like The Deer Tracks hint at his versatility, but it’s his solo material—rooted in poetic reflection—that cements his reputation as a quietly powerful voice in modern folk.
