Ulrika
Swedish musician Petter Herbertsson has been steadily recording and releasing albums for over two decades with his group Testbild! (not to mention many other projects under various aliases), but he recorded his so-far career defining statement with 2023's 'Ulrika', an album of almost imperceptible beauty. Although some analogs can be made to '70s-era Robert Wyatt, Brian Wilson's lush arrangements or Slapp Happy's charming avant-pop, Herbertsson has done an impeccable job of distilling these influences into his own defined sound.
