A Swedish electronic artist San Diego post-rock band from the mid 90s

1) Ludvig Cimbrelius has been quietly developing a catalog of beautifully expressive electronic compositions for over a decade. Currently residing in the woods of Höör, the Swedish native has been making an unprecedented impression with his modest delivery and heartfelt execution.

His ambient moniker Purl was the first to surface in 2008 with a 10″ release on Phisteria, but it’s been the work of Alveol garnering the most recent attention. With a debut in 2010 on renown imprint Mule Electronic, appearances on 26 Tea Drops International and a full length release on Lovezone Records, Alveol’s definitive sound continues to blur the boundaries between ethereal house and techno. Ludvig’s work as Kokong (with Rasmus Alkestrand) provides further insight into the spiritual depth of an artist who is destined to connect with many. “To me, the process of creating music is a reflection of a communication between the physically focused part of me and the non-physical source of my existence – the source of all life, to which everyone has their own unique connection”
