Wattudragare means pelican

For this calm and meditative album, the title was taken from an archaic Swedish word for this feathered friend - accentuating the nature element of the music and the ambition to convey a sense of nostalgia and wonder.

Niklas Sundin

After nearly three decades in the Grammy winning Swedish metal band Dark Tranquillity (with a total of almost 180 million plays on Spotify) and two experimental albums under the Mitochondrial Sun monicker, "Wattudragaren" is his first solo album.He's also a prolific illustrator and graphic designer, hence the idea of personalizing every copy of the album with a custom drawing.
