Hot on the heels of the reworking of Erik Nilsson’s 2015 release Hearing Things, we are delighted to announce the release of The Imperfect Sense (Reworked). This time, the Swedish experimentalist trains his expert lens on his brilliant 2018 album The Imperfect Sense, and manages to extract all the nuances and fine details that make that album so special. As with his recent Hearing Things (Reworked), Nilsson has been hard at work remixing and remastering the original cuts, and the result is stunning. The Imperfect Sense (Reworked) is available on all streaming services and Erik Nilsson’s Bandcamp. Erik Nilsson’s music is available for licensing through Hidden Shoal. Head here for more details.
“Between the gentle warmth of the acoustic arpeggios of the initial “A Tap At The Window” and the progressive post-rock rhythmic crescendo that seals the over fourteen minutes of the final “Once, The Held You In My Arms Forever”, extends a sound microcosm in which nocturnal synthetic stratifications alternate with jazzy piano cadences and with an almost infinite series of variations of times and timbres,” – Music Will Not Save You
From the cascading acoustic guitar loops of ‘A Tap At The Window’ through to the emotive found-sound, post-rock crescendo of closer ‘Once, I Held You In My Arms Forever’, The Imperfect Tense triangulates a musical landscape of potent melodic terrain, full of evocative details and melancholic shadows. Nilsson expertly interweaves the electronic with the acoustic, precision-crafting each track with an auteur’s ear for dynamics and space, resulting in an instrumental suite that is as accessible as it is experimental.
Stay tuned for more from Erik as we head towards 2026.
