Artist Picks: El Huervo
Recently I decided to grab a free trial of Google Stadia and stumbled on the game Steamworld Dig 2.
While the game itself was pretty cool, I found that it wasn’t the game itself that had me hooked…
It was the music.
The soundtrack was freaking amazing, and I wanted to keep playing and exploring new parts of the game just to see what additional soundtracks and music would appear.
This lead to me diving in to see who was behind the music.
Enter new musical binge… El Huervo.
Here is one of the tracks from the game.
El Huervo’s name is Niklas Åkerblad and he’s an artist from Sweden.
His music is freaking amazing, and his artwork is as well.
He also does his own illustrations and artwork…
This is the kind of music you can just chill to for hours
I’ve found this to be the perfect soundtrack for sitting around in deep thought, enjoying some cannabis, brainstorming, writing, etc.
How I would describe El Huervo
Tycho meets Explosions in the Sky meets Gramatik.
Check out El Huervo
Go find him on Spotify, Youtube, Apple Music, or wherever you listen to music. Or checkout some of the video games he has produced music for like Steamworld 2 Dig. His music is amazing. Highly recommended.
