Stockholm multi-instrumentalist John Roger Olsson, recording under the name The Grand Opening, delivers a masterclass in atmospheric melancholy on Don't Look Back Into The Darkness. Released in 2013 on Tapete Records, this fourth album from the one-man project blends rock, folk, and pop into something deeply measured and emotionally resonant.
From the gentle, unhurried opener "Blacker Than Blue," the album establishes a mood that is peaceful yet profound — uncluttered without feeling sparse. With songs dedicated to Alice and Doris, and a front cover featuring a cherished family photograph, Don't Look Back Into The Darkness carries an intimate, personal weight that draws listeners in and rewards repeated plays.
