Joel Gabrielsson is a musician and interdisciplinary artist who has taken part in numerous musical collaborations. Over the years, he has also moved across a range of disciplines—first studying and working within contemporary dance and performance art, and later transitioning into experimental music.

These influences continue to shape his often evocative pop projects, ranging from the off-kilter electronica of his former moniker, Flyinglow, to his ventures into indie singer-songwriter territory, where he released three eponymous EPs. His debut, Citadel, released on Jivvär Records in 2021 in collaboration with Manne von Ahn Öberg—known for his work with Stina Nordenstam—brought him wider international attention and earned favorable reviews, including being described as a “pop curiosity” by Rolling Stone (FR).

His follow-up releases, Hallucinations of Nikola and A Flower Behind—the latter his follow-up on Jivvär Records, released in June 2025—push further into electronic pop exploration while continuing to excavate themes related to his nomadic past, including growing up in a deeply religious setting in Asia and residing in different countries.

Joel is also one half of the electronic duo Aery, which released its debut album, Nowhere Stranger, in the fall of 2025 to favorable reviews.

He is currently recording a new album and an EP, both scheduled for release in 2026.
