Alt-rock outlier Bruno Hibombo is an ardent storyteller with his music. Based in Stockholm, SE, he began his musical path as a solo performer in various bars and clubs. His first two albums, Battles and Dunes, showcased his ability to craft powerful narratives with his poetic lyricism and theatrical vocals. Now, he continues to push the boundaries with his latest art-rock venture, Parting Words.
Parting Words departs from the lyrical and musical elements of Hibombo’s previous records. An eclectic collection of short stories set to rock music, the nine-track album marks his entrance into guitar-based arrangements and fictional narratives. Featuring the moving focus track, “Blue Illustrations,” the album centers on themes of detachment. Singles like “How Could You Not See The Light” explore darker soundscapes, whilst “The Kind-Hearted Beth Valentine” experiments with spoken word verses overtop moody guitar riffs. Written and produced entirely on his own, Parting Words demonstrates Hibombo’s versatility and artistic evolution.
On the inspiration behind the focus track’s themes, Hibombo shares, “Lyrically, ‘Blue Illustrations’ is an exploration of disillusionment, detachment, and youth told through the lens of a narrator who recalls a series of fleeting moments involving a pensive friend. I wrote it with night-time Lisbon in mind. As with the rest of the album, the narrative and characters are fictional. The track is sonically vibrant and musically direct - a combination I hadn’t explored much in my other albums.”
Bruno Hibombo strives to incorporate imaginative soundscapes and a keen sense of storytelling in his music. He’s performed at The Per Anger Prize Ceremony, Stockholm Music & Arts, Bushwig, and Norrlandsoperan, and his work received critical acclaim in publications such as Bon Magazine. His latest album, Parting Words, diverges from the piano-based musical structure of his previous records, comprising tense and farewells set to inventive arrangements.
