Gidge – the Swedish producer duo consisting of Ludvig Stolterman and Jonatan Nilsson – return with their new album “New Light” on November 6 via acclaimed Dutch label Atomnation. Marking their 5th release on Atomnation, this LP can be seen as their second full-length album to date, following up 2014’s mythical “Autumn Bells” LP. Today, Gidge release title track ‘New Light’ ahead of their November LP release date.

Quote from Gidge about the record:
“Throughout the process of making this album, the concept of light was something that kept coming back to us. Our last two releases were quite dark, so we knew early on that we wanted this album to feel a bit lighter and more hopeful. With its high pulsating energy, this track became the perfect representative for that. We wanted this track to feel like a burst of light, kind of like the album’s sunrise, which is also why it came to be the title track.”

Gidge has a history of making electronic music that is shaped by recordings of Swedish nature, both comfortable on the dance floor and in a more relaxing environment. Each and every Gidge track creates its own sense of atmosphere and emotion, whether that is nostalgia, rest, or epicness. Their work evolves naturally, often building to powerful peaks from a silent break that is tweaked with vocal samples, crackles of field recordings, and neo-classical influences.
Rooted in the city of Umeå, Sweden, Jonatan Nilsson and Ludvig Stolterman became friends at 15 through a shared love of electronic music. Their discography includes the album “Autumn Bells”, short-film “Lulin” (in collaboration with Lampray), mini-album “LNLNN”, and debut EP “For Seoul”. Ludvig and Jonatan have both lived (and travelled) all over Europe, including cities such as Paris, Oslo, Berlin, and Den Haag.

“New Light” is out on 2LP vinyl & digital on November 6th through Atomnation / NORR arts.
