Visionary guitarist and composer Henrik Olsson presents Hand of Benediction II, a follow-up album to the critically acclaimed 2019 release “Hand of Benediction”.

With a method that is both personal and exploratory, Olsson allows stylistic references and sound worlds to alternate fluidly in his compositions. His sprawling musical narrative is coming into existence through the performers’ strong instrumental voices, creativity and personality, as well as in the post-production process.
Formerly a trio, the line-up on Hand of Benediction II has now expanded to become a quartet, with the addition of Egil Kalman on modular synth. As Olsson says, “It adds a new sonic dimension to the guitar-bass-drums format, and offers challenging alternatives to the well trodden paths usually taken within the guitar based free jazz/rock idiom”.
