Major of Roses is the artist name of singer and songwriter Magnus Rosell, based in Stockholm, Sweden. His sound is a unique combination of pop melodies and rock grit, echoing the work of artists as diverse as David Bowie, The Beatles, St. Vincent, and Massive Attack to mention but a few. All are tied together by a deep voice reminding of Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits.
Major of Roses is a one-man creation, from songwriting to production, the cover designs, and the videos. All are made at home, true do-it-yourself, and represents the culmination of many years of spare time passion. Each song is a statement in itself and has not been finished until it found its form, and does not always adhere to a standard pop song structure. Although many of the songs are superficially simple the production is mostly very detailed.
“It [Pry] is a song confident enough in its own skin to take its time, which revels in restraint and underplay, often as interested in what is happening between the notes as the sounds themselves.” /Dancing About Architecture.
