GrimsonAfter beginning in New York’s underground scene, Swedish/American songwriter Aiden Berglund made his way to Berlin in the midst of the pandemic and began recording as Grimson, shifting his style into playful art rock accompanied by sweet harmonies and baroque pop arrangements. Grimson found an audience on Tiktok for his dark humor and radio ready singles, which has amassed over a million streams and views on his songs, animations, and viral videos. As he describes, the songs on his incoming album Climbing Up The Chimney were written during his teenage years between 2013 and 2017 and “recorded in a bedroom in Brooklyn, in a dorm room in the Hudson Valley, in a basement on Staten Island, in a bedroom in Berlin..” He has also incorporated a strong multimedia element into the world of his songs, pulling from his work as an animator, which includes the video for Weyes Blood’s “It’s Not Just Me, It’s Everybody.” Grimson’s highly anticipated debut comes out September 1st.
