Under The Gun

Kalle Bergdahl has been a familiar face in his hometown music scene for many years. But it is only now that he gives out music entirely in his own name. The first single “Roadhouse” will be released on the 26th of February and will be followed by another, "The Rafter", in March. The debut album "Under The Gun" will be released in April.

Punk, garage rock and pop bands marked the teenage years. But it was first as the artistic alter ego "Lai North", he found a creative valve that felt right. It was then about stripped-down music in a classical singer/songwriter style. He released the EP "Burning Fort" in 2013 and toured extensively.

He now wants to continue building on what he started as Lai North, but as Kalle Bergdahl he wants to do everything bigger, more beautiful and grand.

-	If we were to compare it's now more about Springsteen, Pearl Jam and U2, he says.

Kalle Bergdahl was born just south of Stockholm in 1985, but soon moved further north. There he developed a big love and a strong relationship with nature. He got an education and trained and worked as a wilderness and fishing guide in the Scandinavian mountains. He took the opportunity to travel to different parts of the world in the low season.

-	The album is very much about restlessness, which is the general feeling. I’m always on the run, on my way to something. Except when I write or play. And when I go fishing. Then I’m calm. 

It's music to let the soul rest in, gently undulated and with clear, distinct melodies. Kalle Bergdahl´s voice spans between the powerful and the restrained.

“Under The Gun” was recorded in the fall of 2015 in Boomtown Studios in Borlänge and Gamla Elverket as well as Bergstenska Art Collective in Falun, in the Dalarna region of Sweden. 
Kalle Bergdahl stands for production itself and he has worked with recording engineer Erik Berglund (Good Harvest, David Rönnegård). The album is mixed by Jakob Grundtman (Daniel Norgren, The Tallest Man on Earth).
