MORE THAN JOHN TO RELEASE DEBUT SINGLE “WILD MOUNTAIN THYME” ON NOVEMBER 10
November 1, 2024 – Swedish singer-songwriter MORE THAN JOHN is set to make his debut with the single, “Wild Mountain Thyme,” releasing on November 10, 2024. Known offstage as John Engdahl, MORE THAN JOHN offers a captivating interpretation of this Scottish-Irish folk classic, embodying the quiet intensity of his rural Swedish upbringing.
Growing up in a small village in southeastern Sweden, John developed his talent far from the city and industry lights, honing his voice and songwriting skills in the solitude of nature. His powerful vocals and connection to folk tradition are evident in his haunting cover of “Wild Mountain Thyme.”
John’s journey as an artist began when a family friend from the music industry encouraged him to share his talent with a larger audience. That inspiration led him to collaborate with renowned producer Alex Hellid of Entombed and co-producer Linn Fijal to record his debut single at Riksmixningsverket Studio on Stockholm’s Skeppsholmen island. Equipped with the legendary NEVE 8068 console, the studio captured the song’s blend of folk heritage and contemporary sound. The final mastering was completed by Frida Claeson-Johansson at Svenska Grammofonstudion Mastering Berlin, located within the iconic Hansa building in Berlin.
This debut single marks the beginning of an exciting journey for MORE THAN JOHN, with two more singles to follow and a debut album, OIIIIO, set for release on Record Store Day, April 19, 2025. The album will be available in both digital and physical formats, showcasing John’s unique style and storytelling.
