Mats Edén / Stefan Klaverdal ~ annual growth rings
As late summer tilts to early autumn, Mats Edén and Stefan Klaverdal‘s annual growth rings makes a perfect accompaniment. The album speaks of birth and death, of cycles, of letting go. The perspective of trees differs from that of humans: the events
