Sailor & I

Sailor & I

Sailor & I is the music project of Alexander Sjodin, a producer, instrumentalist and singer from Stockholm. The name refers to the idea of two opposing wills within one person, and the project centres on that internal conflict as a theme.

The music is described as combining compulsive movement with a contrasting sense of beauty and harshness. Sjodin works in a style associated with indie and electronic music, and the project is linked with a glacial, atmospheric sound built around delicate strings, layered vocal harmonies and direct lyrical imagery.

One of the project’s songs is about adult relationships and is noted for evoking comparisons with Rhye and Fleet Foxes through its arrangement and vocal approach. The artist is associated with Sweden and with a sound that fits within the Swedish electronic and indie scene.
