Swedish experimental guitarist Finn Loxbo's Lummernikt captures his free spirit and imaginative sonic vision and takes him to unpredictable territories that suggest evocative and dramatic musical stories. My review for Salt peanuts: salt-peanuts.eu/record/finn-...

I wrote about Finn Loxbo's extraordinary new solo album Lummernikt for The Quietus. thequietus.com/quietus-revi...

"Un’opera di rara eleganza, capace di coniugare ricerca sonora e immediatezza espressiva con naturalezza disarmante." Andrea Rossi on Finn Loxbo's 'Lummernikt' www.musicmap.it/recdischi/or...

AMN Reviews: Space (Ullén / Bergman / Lund) – London Concert (2026; Fönstret) Although she is a veteran, pianist Lisa Ullén has been on a slow rise over the last several years, and has gotten to the point where anything she records is worth at least a listen. Space is her trio featuring Elsa…

'Across eight riveting acoustic pieces played live without overdubs, Loxbo melds extended technique, fingerstyle fluency and self-devised preparations to deliver one of the year’s most beguiling, detailed and beautiful albums.' Lummernikt by Finn Loxbo is tQ's Album of the Week buff.ly/rvJHE6d

Finn Loxbo's Lummernikt is 'Album of The Week' on The Quietus. "a work of astonishing focus and originality" — Peter Margasak thequietus.com/quietus-revi...

ukvibe.org/album_review... 5/5 “Unique, technically astonishing, and often genuinely beautiful, this music seems to invent its own rules as it goes along. A beguiling solo statement from a guitarist who has found a language very much his own.”
