'Amazing female vocal that soothes the soul...a great album for any lover of Bob Dylan or anyone who appreciates beautiful well-written music at all' - Indie Band Guru

'Mia and Reine's voices combined are pure magic and truly one of the best pairings you'll find out there in the scene right now, in any genre...100% loaded with memorable performances, perfectly played' - Sleeping Bag Studios

'Vargen has successfully tackled one of the greats by way...Mia Rosengren's voice shines..."Love / Leave" at times nearly feels more like an album of originals, but the underlying current of familiarity never fully leaves the listener.

VARGEN RELEASES NEW ALBUM 'LOVE / LEAVE - 11 SONGS OF BOB DYLAN'
VINYL / CD RELEASE WORLDWIDE ON JUNE 12

Vargen (translates as ‘The Wolf’) is the stage and recording name of Swedish singer-songwriter Reine Johansson. In the wake of the international recognition of his and fellow singer Mia Rosengren’s translations on 'Tänk inte efter (Don’t Think Twice-Bob Dylan in Swedish)', Vargen’s recorded new vocals in English to all nine tracks from that album. The band has also recorded two new songs, singles 'One Too Many Mornings' and 'Abandoned Love'. 'Love / Leave - 11 Songs of Bob Dylan' is available worldwide on vinyl and CD since Friday June 12.

 - We aimed for a timeless sound on Bob Dylan’s timeless songs, says Vargen. Dylan has written great lyrics on almost every topic there is. To hold the album together conceptually we focused on the universal themes love, loss, leaving and longing. 

Musically, the songs vary between americana, country and rock, with essential contributions by Dan Kristensen on guitar, lap steel and dobro. The album is produced by Andreas Alm at Teknikcirkus Studio in Skällinge.

Vargen hopes to promote the album with a vinyl store tour in Scandinavia, Germany and UK as soon as the pandemic's over.
