VOS (Voices of Scandinavia) | Conductor: Robert Bennesh
In Bright as Crystal, Swedish composer Stefan Klaverdal offers a radiant and deeply personal contribution to the contemporary choral canon. Performed by the exceptional vocal ensemble VOS (Voices of Scandinavia) under the direction of Robert Bennesh, this album blends sacred tradition with modern soundscapes in a shimmering dialogue between the past and present.

Some tracks were composed to celebrate the 900th anniversary of Lund Cathedral, the works on this album resonate with centuries of sacred music while embracing a distinctly modern voice. Klaverdal’s style moves effortlessly between minimalistic clarity and romantic warmth, echoing influences from American minimalism, Eric Whitacre, and Morten Lauridsen, as well as the spiritual depth of Arvo Pärt and the lush harmonies of Sergei Rachmaninov.

The music — alternating between a cappella purity and subtle electronic textures — creates an immersive sound world where light, space, and reverence converge. At its core, Bright as Crystal is a reflection on time, silence, and the crystalline beauty of the human voice in communion.
This is not just a recording — it is a sonic architecture of devotion, crafted for both the sacred space and the contemplative listener.

The first time I heard HUSH FOREVER's Next to You, it stopped me in my tracks, something in its melody, its intimacy, felt like a secret spoken aloud. I knew right then I needed to carry this song into my world, to stretch its heartbeat across the horizon during my Burning Man sunset sets.
I reached out to the artist almost immediately, and now, after many hours in the studio, I'm sharing this remix with you, not just as a track, but as a gift. A gift to the love we witness between friends, between lovers, between those who dance barefoot in sand or on rooftops as the sky opens in color.
I hope you’ll feel it too, the warmth, the weightlessness, the connection. Let it be the soundtrack to your sunrises and/ or your farewells to the day, a beautiful sunset.

Hush Forever unveils the new single Oasis, the final step before the upcoming full-length album Passengers Maze. This epic pop song lifts listeners into the horizon with a soaring chorus while gently reminding us of our playful and open nature.

A Place of Freedom.. Oasis invites listeners to reconnect with their true selves, offering a musical sanctuary where it’s safe to let go and just be.
Sebastian Lilja’s intimate vocals meet Dr. Drums’ dynamic rhythms, a solid bassline, and ABBA-inspired analog synths layered with hooky guitars – creating a vibrant and cinematic pop-rock universe.
With its uplifting message and atmospheric arrangement, Oasis delivers both energy and introspection, making it a versatile addition to playlists that celebrate modern pop with depth and heart.
