About Me

LANGE is the alias for swedish songwriter Johan Lange. Lange has been involved in several Swedish independent pop/electronic bands, such as TOMAS and Agent Side Grinder .
"Harvest Queen" is his first solo album. It's a collection of ten personal, melodic popsongs with an atmospheric and dreamy sound. Lange combines traditional, acoustic songwriting with electronic elements, sweeping synthesizers and layers of angelic choirs. This results in a emotional mix of melody and harmony.
"Harvest Queen" is recorded in Lange's home studio during 2005 and 2006 with fellow musicians Gustav Löwenhielm, Cecilia Radkiewicz and Sofie Wickman.
The album will be released in a new, remastered edition on Lobotom Records during 2008.
The last two years, Lange has also toured and recorded with the post-industrial synth band Agent Side Grinder. They've just released an acclaimed debut vinyl LP on the Dutch label Enfant Terrible (www.enfant-terrible.nl).
Currently LANGE resides in Miami, Florida.
