Alex Zethson · Johan Jutterström

Stockholm duo Alex Zethson and Johan Jutterström’s new album is a beautiful, minimal reflection on perfectionism and failure.

Through an intense and intimate recording process that picks up the clack of saxophone valves, and the humming of piano strings, It Could/If I refuses to let anyone forget there are two flawed, imperfect humans behind the music. The album reaches into melancholy and uncanniness, meditating on how music is perfect while in the composer’s mind, and instantly blemished when it is played. We talked to them below.
