Christian Kjellvander - Ex Voto / The Silent Love (2025) [Hi-Res]

Christian Kjellvander's "Ex Voto / The Silent Love" is the Swedish-American singer-songwriter's latest solo album, completing an unofficial trilogy on love that began with "About Love and Loving Again" and continued with "Hold Your Love Still." Originally conceived as a quiet country record, it evolved into an intimate, atmospheric exploration of love's tenderness, complexity, and spiritual depth, blending ghostly silences with dynamic bursts. Recorded in an old summer house on the Swedish coast and produced by Tobias Fröberg, the album features Kjellvander's signature baritone voice alongside instrumentation like Rhodes, bass clarinet, cornet, and female vocals, enhanced by reverb for a supernatural presence. It invites listeners into a reflective, noir-tinged songwriter pop experience, evoking comparisons to unrecorded Nick Cave tracks through its dusky romance and distorted guitars.
