Artist History
Bitter Sweet Harmony is a Swedish band who in 2001
released their debut – album “Shapeshifters”.
The band formed in 1998 by Rauno Luoto and
Anders Brewitz as a studio project but has
since evolved to a five-piece band,
that is now signed to Swedish indie-
label Crossroad Records,
which releases are distributed by Bonnier/Amigo.
The band and their music has been described in
many ways, but this is what Leigh Silberg,
CEO United Global Artists, wrote after listening
to the bands CD “Shapeshifters” :
“The first time that you have the opportunity
to listen to Bitter Sweet Harmony,
your life is never quite going to be the same again.
For the gallant audiophile searching the depths
of the musical landscape in search of that rarest
of attributes,
in the compositions of Bitter Sweet Harmony you
have finally found what your long searching heart
has desired.
The classic musical brilliance that encompasses
every song in it's own, fantastic, unique,
individual stylistic nuance, is portrayed with
a singular sonic imagination that is beyond
genre description.
Bitter Sweet Harmony were never the type of group
to follow the trends & cyclic nature of
contemporary bands.
They forge a direction for others to follow that
encapsulates so many hybrid influences,
that they stand alone in the creation of their
own mystifying sound.
From one song gem to another,
they traverse a musical zeal & style that
incorporates everything from the fierce to the
indescribably subtle, all within the breadth &
majesty of their craft; While maintaining a
sonically produced sheen & an earthly sensuality
simultaneously.
It is as if they have one foot on the ground &
the other in the heavens.
Sweden has played host to a great many names in
the annals of popular musical history,
of this there is no doubt.
But Bitter Sweet Harmony bring to mind names of
the greatest modern day musical acts to ever
grace the stage; Be they from Great Britain,
America or anywhere else on the globe.
Be witness to the coming of a stunning leader
in the art of sound.
Bitter Sweet Harmony are a supernova,
a super group in the making.
The release of their debut album "Shapeshifters"
contains a bounty of imaginative melodically
superb songs, warm immaculate production &
arching spiraling vocal performances.
Rauno Luoto is undoubtedly one of the greatest
unsung vocalists in existence.
He has an absolutely gorgeous voice without peer.
Anders Brewitz guitar & synthesizer work is a
sheer delight to behold.
Come & take a musical journey to the ends of the
earth & beyond into an infinity of sonic beauty &
power.
Experience the emotional depths & complexities of
love in all of it's maddening wonder from the
darkness of despair to the truth of exhilaration &
illumination.
A true roller coaster ride of art & craftsmanship.
See the beginning of the next wave.
When you listen to Bitter Sweet Harmony,
you life will never quite be the same again.
Because "there is no space between us;
Dreams that keep us alive, just the way we are".”
Leigh Silberg , August 2001
