Harald Björk’s music is a naive and emotional, melodic type of techno with a melancholy Scandinavian touch. His music can be described as a mixture between the playfulness of Aphex Twin and the poppy electronica of early Röyksopp spiced with techno beats à la Berlin and Cologne. Harald’s tracks are often appreciated by followers of labels like Border Community, Kompakt and Cocoon. His records are played by djs like James Holden, Sven Väth, Miss Kittin and Four Tet amongst others.

Listening through Bigfield, it’s clear why many people consider Harald one of the finest producers of electronic music today. Every single sound is pure perfection, the colors are vivid, the arrangements to the point yet never less than enigmatic. What's more important is that he's got soul, oceans of it. Harald is a true romantic artist, constantly returning to the same themes of nostalgia, understated euphoria and sunshine over snowy landscapes. Over the last few years, Harald's followers have heard him get closer and closer to the core of his art with every single release. Finally, Bigfield has arrived - his first true masterpiece, one of those rare albums that will make listeners dance, weep and smile in equal parts.

/ Rone (InFiné)

”Finally, Bigfield has arrived - his first true masterpiece, the best album to come out of Sweden since The Field's debut and, as of early October, the first piece of music that made me cry this year! One can also dance to it.”
/ Kornél Kovács (Studio Barnhus / P3 Dans)
