Axel Boman broke through in 2010 with his Holy Love EP, released on DJ Koze's Pampa Records. The track Purple Drank became an instant classic in underground house music circles – since then, Boman has toured extensively while releasing original productions and remixes on labels like DFA, Hypercolour, Kompakt, Permanent Vacation and Ovum, as well as on Studio Barnhus, the label he runs together with Kornél Kovács and Petter Nordkvist.

Family Vacation, Boman's debut album, arrives on Studio Barnhus in November 2013.

“I decided to go through the vast collection of ideas and sketches I had on my computer, as a final project before I set that machine on fire and let it all go up in flames. Kind of like what Lee "Scratch" Perry did with The Black Ark in Kingston in the 70's. A friend says the album sounds like “weird Jamaican space disco" so maybe it's a fitting reference”, says Boman himself.

Axel Boman's music has also been described as "raw and playful house music drenched in oceans of soul". He graduated with a master's degree from Valand School of Fine Arts in 2010 and currently lives in the calm and peaceful Stockholm suburb Gröndal.

Charles Bradley - Strictly Reserved For You

First track from Numbers And Letters' "Guns Under Water"

The fire’s been lit
And I hope that you still love this house
‘Cuz I just burned it down
How Does it feel to know you made it out?

I don’t want your ghosts to live with me

Don’t take coffee black
Sugar and cream are like compliments to me
And should be used sparingly

I don’t want your ghosts to live with me
I don’t want your ghosts to live with me

A phone call away
Your coat and your tie
Are still on my floor
It pains me so, honey
I think you can tell
It’s making me sour

I don’t want your ghosts to live with me
I don’t want your ghosts to live with me
I don’t want your ghosts to live with me
