With his fifth album, the Swedish songwriter considers his deepest of existential queries while maintaining the effervescent, seductive sound that’s the strongest through line in his career.

The sixth album from the Scottish proponents of existential angst is centered around the intertwining duality of death and life, fueled in turn by feelings of despair, disbelief, and defiance.
