Paul Steen is a Swedish artist living in Germany. Ever since the 90s he has often incorporated sound in his exhibitions. FLOOD, released 2020, is however  the first ambient album released in his name.  
Under the moniker Hayesville he draws inspiration from swedish roots and american heritage and the folk tradition that comes with it, with discrete added electronics. 
The polished and concentrated lyrics are personal and at times political, but not without a certain wry dark sense of humor. 
Hayesville is the latest incarnation of mercurial singer-songwriter Paul Steen that since his teens has explored genres from glam rock to industrial synth pop, eventually with his own label Minutka Square Records.
