HNNY returns with first new album in almost 10 years

After nearly a decade, HNNY is making a highly anticipated return with his third studio album, Light Shines Through. Set for release on Friday, July 5th, this marks the Swedish artist's first full-length project since 2015's Sunday. The new album, comprising 10 tracks, will be released under HNNY's own label and showcases a blend of breakbeats, house, and ambient music.

The announcement of Light Shines Through comes alongside the release of its lead single, ‘I'll Come Your Way,’ offering a taste of the album's meditative and electronic soundscapes.

Reflecting on the creative process, HNNY shared that the album was conceived in a concentrated burst of inspiration shortly after the New Year. "I wrote, recorded, and mixed everything in my home studio, which is in a small shed in the yard of our house," he explained.

HNNY further elaborated on the thematic direction of the album: "I've found it difficult to undertake larger projects like an album, which often take one or more years to complete. But like my previous album, I did everything in a fairly short period of time, about three months this time. I wanted to create something more electronic than what I've done in recent years and on a more abstract level, to make a record where I explored something kind of spiritual. Making music about that which cannot be touched."
