Varberg, Halland, Sweden —Over the recent years the Swedish singer-songwriter and Bob Dylan interpreter Vargen, has carved a reputation for infusing his music with raw emotions. On September 8th he releases the playful single Toxicon.
Vargen’s previous albums have firmly established his presence in the spotlight. His acclaimed renditions of Bob Dylan’s songs in both Swedish and English, along with his unique takes on the works of Swedish poet Dan Andersson, have garnered widespread recognition.
The hum-worthy Toxicon is the third single on Vargen’s (translated as ”The Wolf”) upcoming fourth self-titled album where he debuts with original songs. The track is driven by a a lounge-inspired beat that invokes the sensation of strolling down the catwalk at the pinnacle of your career, always just a few steps away from falling down. The song’s title is a wordplay blending ”toxic” and ”icon,” a fusion reminiscent of how a celebrity can sometimes exude a toxic aura.
Concealed beneath the moniker is Reine Johansson’s skill, an artist with origins in the rock and punk domains, and a history that includes working as a fire-eater and even directing a circus.
Through 9 tracks the coming album takes the listener on a ride with among many others the Nick Cave-esque The Bullfighter and Them Cats – which features a guest appearance by Swedish guitar legend Jojje Wadenius. The album will be out on November 10th.
