Artist Info: Varjen

Varjen (Swedish for "the wolf") is the soloproject of singer-songwriter Niklas Sibelius from Malmoe, Sweden. 'Against The Country' is his second release, here Sibelius is taking his songwriting and production another step.

The songs explore themes of broken love, small town boredom and a scattered youth. [read more...]
