"Tinfoil Hat"
Swedish songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Tobias Arbo releases a stripped down folk tune from his upcoming album 'Yellow Woods'.
"Tinfoil Hat is about losing a family member to conspiracy theories and how that seeps into the relationships of the family. The frustration of not getting through and the hate-love we can feel for the people closest to us. But it’s also about the sad reality of how vulnerable we become when we involuntarily spend too much time alone."
Tobias Arbo's first full length album, YELLOW WOODS, is scheduled for release August 30th.
Album and single were produced together with Linus and Hannes Hasselberg (Plasí, Moonica Mac, Melissa Horn, Cleo), and mixed by Zach Hanson (Bon Iver, Owen, Sylvan Esso, Waxahatchee). Artwork and press pictures were created by photographer Olof Grind (Phoebe Bridgers, boygenius, First Aid Kit, Veronica Maggio).
While his debut EP POWERLINES, released in March 2023, pondered on the topic of forgiveness to oneself and had Tobias Arbo grapple with the question why he out of all people may deserve to put out music (a nonsensical notion a lot of artists can relate to), this first body of work helped him approach his art more candidly. "I guess it’s part of living, it helped me and it had a lot to do with me and my relationship to music." POWERLINES earned him features in Americana (UK), SVT (Sweden's National TV), GAFFA (Scandinavia's leading entertainment print magazine), Bands of Tomorrow (DK), Nöjesguiden (SE) and more, evoking comparisons to the likes of Sufjan Stevens, Bon Iver or fellow Swede José González. CLASH found the EP was "blending folk aspects with pop tropes", where "each song feels shot through with light."
'Tinfoil Hat' will be out July 26th 2024 on made records.
