Yup, another bad album jacket photo.
S.A.Andrée takes his name from a Swedish explorer of the same name. The album, There's a Fault, focuses on the failed arctic expedition to the North Pole in 1897. Here's a full description from the record company's web page:
"There’s A Fault concerns the true story of Swedish explorer S.A.Andrée‘s failed arctic expedition of 1897 when he attempted to travel from Sweden across the North Pole in a hydrogen balloon. He remained missing in ghostly limbo between failure and hero, life and death, until the chance discovery of his frozen remains, maps and preserved camera film 33 years later explained his fate.
"Written from the explorer’s perspective, this album was recorded over 3 years in London and Los Angeles using vintage instruments and original analogue synthesizers, sourced for their fluctuations, inaccuracies and need for hands-on human control. Their use also highlight the elapsed time and technological advancements between Andrée’s initial expedition and his belated discovery." - See more at: http://lexprojects.com/releases/saandree-theres-a-fault/
This album is truly outstanding. It's a mellow electronic collection with oddly elliptical lyrics. Though vaguely a pop record, I think it more comfortably fits into the category of ambient pop. It's difficult to define. There seem to only be two tracks on Youtube:
