Kristoffer Gildenlöw invites us on a dark journey with his new song and video "Falling, Floating, Sinking". This epic, theatrical track is the forerunner of his new album Let Me Be A Ghost to be released on the 3rd of September. This is foremost Kristoffer's darkest musical journey in his artistic realm, as this album is not for the fainthearted as it is confronting and revealing of our own shortcomings. With painting soundscapes, dynamics, contrasts and his signature storytelling, Kristoffer takes us to the deepest, most eerie places of the mind. These are stories about giving up or carrying on, falling down or standing strong. About choices on the edge of life and death, about the ghosts who roam both realms.
Let Me Be A Ghost is the fourth solo album by Kristoffer Gildenlöw, following RUST (2012), The Rain (2016) and Homebound (2020). Kristoffer was born and raised in Sweden but lives in The Netherlands since 2003, where he currently plays in the iconic Dutch symphonic rock band Kayak. He started playing the piano at the age of seven and started playing bass at the age of 14. However Kristoffer is a multi-instrumentalist, bass guitar is his main instrument. In 1994, at the age of 16, Kristoffer was asked to join his brother (Daniel) band Pain Of Salvation and in 1997 the debut album Entropia was released. Pain Of Salvation rose to become one of the most respected bands in the progressive rock/metal genre and is still one of the most proclaimed ones in the scene. Kristoffer is part of the early legacy of Pain Of Salvation, including their first six studio albums and the live BE album/DVD and the ever so praised album Remedy Lane. In 2006, Kristoffer parted ways with the band en in the years that followed, he was frequently asked to lend his signature playing skills to various artists as a session bass player - live and in the studio.
Kristoffer has his name on more than 50 releases and has toured the world with some of the bigger names out there. Being active as a musician for more than 25 years, Kristoffer also felt inspired to make his own solo albums, not only to have total freedom as a bass player but also as a songwriter, vocalist, instrumentalist, producer and engineer.
