Magnus Öström - A Room For Travellers CD

 Magnus Öström Group
 - A Room For Travellers -
Drummer and composer Magnus Öström and his band are finally back with a new 
album, his fourth to date.
The album, A Room For Travellers, is both about the traveller’s journey through 
the world but equally about a journey inward, the journey within. Magnus’s hope 
is that for the listener the album can become a space to travel to, and to travel in, 
an infinite room. Both a little escapism from all the terrible things happening in 
the world right now, but also a journey inward to understand oneself and one's 
surroundings on a deeper level.
But above all, the album is about being present in the present and seeing nature, 
the oceans and our surroundings as part of ourselves and thereby hopefully 
becoming humbler and more careful with what we have, and aware of what we 
can lose.
The album, which clocks in at 40 minutes, contains 6 tracks, with a couple of songs 
that are more like suites than a single song. With titles such as On The High In 
My Life and All Those Years, the album is mindful of both the present and the 
past. 
In addition, the record is about the great importance nature and natural resources 
has to us.
In titles such as FlowFly, Pacific, Oceans, and Safe And Sound, Magnus pays 
tribute to, and points towards, the most important thing we have on our planet,
freshwater and the oceans, which unfortunately we are slowly destroying and 
poisoning with our excessive consumerist lifestyles.
On this album, Magnus reunites his group, namely:
ANDREAS HOURDAKIS – Electric & acoustic guitars
DANIEL KARLSSON – Piano & keyboards
THOBIAS GABRIELSON – Bass & synthbass
MAGNUS ÖSTRÖM – Drums, percussion, voices, additional keyboards
The album A Room For Travellers will be released on May 5th by Jazzland 
Recordings.
