Comprised of a diverse group of musicians from various musical backgrounds, Second Sun features Stipen Karlsson (ex-Merciless, ex-Dia Psalma, Åfysatan) on drums, Jakob Ljungberg (Tyrann, ex-Tribulation) handling vocals and guitar, Björn Trägårdh (ex-VCPS, ex-Lula) on guitar and vocals, and Marcus Hedman (Corridor People, ex-Moralens Väktare) on bass.
The band draws from a rich tapestry of influences, establishing a solid foundation in classic rock and heavy metal. With lyrics sung entirely in Swedish, their sound is inspired by the likes of Wishbone Ash, Black Sabbath, Camel, Pentagram, and Jethro Tull. They also incorporate elements of folk music and video game soundtracks, creating a unique auditory experience that transcends genre boundaries.
Elektriska Mardrömmar was recorded between 2023 and 2024, with production overseen by Olle Granat and the band themselves. The album has been expertly mixed and mastered by Jamie Elton. The cover artwork, crafted by Susanna Berglund and complemented by layout design from Adam Zaars, ensures a visually captivating presentation that perfectly complements the music.
The band shared their thoughts on the new effort: "The album itself (unlike the previous one which was an album with a cohesive story) is intended to be a sort of collection of short stories. The overarching themes are laziness, reluctance to perform, outsider status (both self-chosen and not), and a constant fatigue with our increasingly idiotic and incomprehensible contemporary society."
