Blod & Shadow Pattern – Midnite Blues

n their latest transatlantic collaboration released through Forlag For Fri Musik, Blod and Shadow Pattern from Canada merge their distinct sounds with surprising synergy. Recorded during the winter of 2024 across Gothenburg, Sweden and Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, this project sees Gustaf Dicksson's introspective lo-fi folk intertwined seamlessly with Nathan Ivanco's raw and experimental concrete music.

Each copy features screenprinted artwork on repurposed cover jackets, enhancing the project's minimalist ethos and environmental consciousness. Blod and Shadow Pattern defy geographical boundaries and genre conventions, crafting an ambient and acoustic landscape that invites listeners into a world of subtle textures and emotive storytelling. This collaboration not only showcases their musical dexterity but also underscores the power of international artistic exchange in pushing creative boundaries.
