Getting Back to Joy with Land of Trees

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2119280/open_sms] Marcus Friman of Land of Trees (Swedish Indie/Folk artist!) joins the show for a conversation about his life and work. He and Ashton discuss Marcus' beginnings in music, his discography, how loss can change our lives, the full spectrum of emotions a career in music offers, humble beginnings, and allowing joy and gratitude to drive our creative endeavors. Land of Trees, the alias of Swedish Singer/Songwriter Marcus Friman, is indie/folk rooted in the landscape of mountains and pine trees in northern Sweden. Inspired by the wild nature, Marcus started writing poems with metaphors from the landscape around him and found music as a way to express it. Working out of emotions and impulse rather than studying music, Land of Trees started as simplistic, authentic and genuine as can be. The name came from a friends interpretation of the landscape on a mountain adventure, the first album ”Wild Wind” is recorded pretty much live all the way through in 4 days and most songs are written in the heat of the moment so no essence is lost in the process. Since the first release in 2016 Friman has released 3 full length albums with a 4th coming soon. Fans have followed the progress of a tree growing from the ground, spreading its roots and stretching its branches to the sky. Much like the forest, this music grows slow, steady and wild.
