Instrumental music from Sombertrap

Hailing from Halmstad in Sweden, Sombertrap is a solo artist who makes captivating instrumental soundscapes. Drawing on a wide range of different genres such as blues, jazz, rock, pop, folk and electronic music, listening to everything from Harry Styles to Pink Flloyd, he absorbs the musical world around him and filters it through his unique sonic lens to create his own highly original sound.

For as long as he can remember, music has played a significant role in his life and now as a creator in his own right he uses it as a vehicle for personal expression and a way to communicate whatever feelings and moods he feels are most important to offer. Capturing nostalgic tones in his compositions, he tends to focus on minor chords to instil a sense of melancholy in his works.

Composing and producing from his own hime studio, working alone allows his to bring to fruition all the details of his musical worlds, unveiling his sound earlier this year with his first track “Strange Rooms Pt. 1” released in July. Followed up by his sophomore effort “Portrait of a Downward Spiral”, he now brings us his latest work with his new single titled “The Distance (between Before and After)”.

On his new piece he crafts a beautiful and atmospheric piano-driven sound that inspires reflection and wistful thought. Delicately cinematic and elegantly performed, with “The Distance (between Before and After)” the aptly-named Sombertrap offers a song that invokes feeling which each note played just as much as it does with the spaces in between.
