Stellan Wahlström, Swedish songwriter and musician, started out in the eighties, touring Europe and the USA with the garage rock band The Wylde Mammoths, and releasing records on the legendary Crypt Records label.

He is now out of the garage and does what could be described as modern big-city folk rock, a kind of slow and sombre rock with singer/songwriter roots, with his band the Stellan Wahlström Drift Band.
Based in New York during the last half of the nineties, Stellan did lots of live shows at clubs like CBGB's, Gaslight and Sidewalk, and recorded the album 'Time leaves you behind'. Returning to Sweden he reformed the band, released the "So this is what the end looks like"-EP, and started playing live again in Stockholm (as well as a small acoustic tour in India in 2003).

Stellan's new album "The Excitable Gift" takes his music further towards folk rock - lots of piano, acoustic guitar, violin and an electric Hagström 12-string can be heard on the warm-sounding analogue recording. The lyrics are rich with imagery and tell the story of the way towards endings and break-up.

"The Excitable Gift" is an exciting and varied effort, an album about love and the loss of it.

Thanks, Aditi!
