Johan the Angel

"Comprised of Britt and Brett Pedersen, the married couple offer a sound of celestial folk. They've taken a different approach to the typically stripped down genre with a sound that is much more grandiose and orchestral." A quote from Brave Morning Records highlights a special feature of our band, in that its sole members are a married couple that, after two weeks of friendship, became engaged to be wed and tied the knot two weeks later. Thus began Johan the Angel. Directly thereafter, they commenced their own project under the musical moniker Brett had chosen during his previous sojourn in Sweden: Johan the Angel.

With ranging influences from indie, classical, and folk alike, they are ever more concerned with trying to take and create beauty in music, rather than loop familiar beats and melodies.

Described by CD Masterer and technician Axel Oberg as “a more lush Sigur Ros; a kick-butt album,” we invite you to Johan the Angel.
