The Artist

Rooted in the raw spirit of blues, Hurley & The Blue Dots have spent more than two decades sculpting a sound that feels both timeless and electrifying. The dynamic Swedish duo — Fredrich Rönnholm on vocals, drums, harmonica and percussion, together with Mathias Blixt on guitar, slide guitar and backing vocals — delivers powerful, full-bodied performances that easily rival a full band.

Forged in Korsvägen — literally translated as ‘the crossroads’ — the band carries mysterious connection to the old blues legends. Analog or Bust revisits and reimagines some of the duo’s strongest material to date — now captured on analog tape with renewed energy, soulful lyrics, smoky guitar riffs, howlin’ harmonica melodies and shuffling drum grooves that defines Hurley & The Blue Dots.
