Featuring weighty seven-string guitar work, driving riffs and shifting time signatures, the record leans noticeably heavier than his previous releases. At the same time, it weaves in touches of sleaze rock, art rock, prog and even doom, all brought together with a seamless flow and a powerful, cohesive production. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003eKristoffer doesn’t approach songwriting through traditional concept albums with a linear narrative. Instead, his records are built around overarching themes, with a thread running through out that ties the material together. Each track offers a snapshot; a moment or \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003eperspective, often exploring human nature from different angles, presenting vivid impressions of people and the world they inhabit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003e[Humanised]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003e is a mirror (or selfie-cam?), held up in front of the modern-day person.

Being a multi-instrumentalist, he has a keen instinct for when outside players can bring something distinctive to the music, adding character and nuance where it matters most. For \u003ci\u003e[Humanised]\u003c\/i\u003e, he enlisted Leo Margarit (Pain of Salvation, For All We Know) on drums, a choice that becomes immediately clear upon listening. Although Leo and Kristoffer never played together in Pain of Salvation, they have recorded several albums together over the years, including the three For All We Know albums (by Within Temptation guitarist Ruud Jolie). The dynamic, expressive drumming and intricate arrangements across \u003ci\u003e[Humanised]\u003c\/i\u003e highlight exactly why Leo was the perfect fit. Fans will also recognise Daniel Magdič (Prehistorical Animals, formerly of Pain of Salvation), who contributes a guest guitar solo on the track \u003ci\u003eLandfill\u003c\/i\u003e. Also appearing is Thijmen van der Meer, an emerging talent from the Netherlands, who features with a guitar solo on \u003ci\u003eThe Fields\u003c\/i\u003e. Thijmen will also join Kristoffer’s live band for the promotional run supporting \u003ci\u003e[Humanised]\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHave a look and a listen:\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fUI9alvR4ik\"\u003eKristoffer Gildenlöw - 'The Almosts' - Official video\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003eTracks:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-indent: -0.25in;\" class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list: Ignore;\"\u003e1.\u003cspan style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e      \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003eRendering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-indent: -0.25in;\" class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list: Ignore;\"\u003e2.\u003cspan style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e      \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003eNothing Lasts Forever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-indent: -0.25in;\" class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list: Ignore;\"\u003e3.\u003cspan style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e      \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003eLandfill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-indent: -0.25in;\" class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list: Ignore;\"\u003e4.\u003cspan style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e      \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003eThe Almosts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-indent: -0.25in;\" class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list: Ignore;\"\u003e5.\u003cspan style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e      \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003eIntermezzo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-indent: -0.25in;\" class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list: Ignore;\"\u003e6.\u003cspan style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e      \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003eNothing Stays The Same\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-indent: -0.25in;\" class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list: Ignore;\"\u003e7.\u003cspan style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e      \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003eThe Fields\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-indent: -0.25in;\" class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list: Ignore;\"\u003e8.\u003cspan style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e      \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003eBefore I Fall Asleep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-indent: -0.25in;\" class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list: Ignore;\"\u003e9.\u003cspan style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e      \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003eBinary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFormat: Transparent Smoke LP\u003cbr\u003eArtist: Kristoffer Gildenlow\u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: May 29, 2026\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kristoffer Gildenlow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46151959871660,"sku":null,"price":42.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0407\/5857\/5258\/files\/8718858195404cover.jpg?v=1776365381","url":"https:\/\/thebandwagonusa.com\/en-ca\/products\/kristoffer-gildenlow-humanised-splatter-lp-pre-order","provider":"The Band Wagon USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
