The Goner
The Goner was a psychedelic folk rock band from Sweden. Starting out as a solo project of Daniel Westerlund in 2008, the lineup quickly expanded<ref name="The Goner - Bitemarks EP (free mp3) / Releases / Dying For Bad Music"></ref> and over time developed into a six piece live band; playing an eclectic range of instruments including banjo, violin and synths. The Goner debuted in 2008 with a series of EPs dubbed the "H-Trilogy" on Daniel Westerlund's own CD-R label Svarta Marknaden: "Halartrallar", "Hind Hand" and "Haven". These limited releases garnered some interest and collectively secured  the #1 spot on "It's a Trap! Scandinavian Music Journal"'s top album list of 2008. The following year, "Hind Hand" and "Haven" were reissued as the double album "HH" on US-based label Deep Water Acres. Featuring The Goner in full band mode, the release of "Behold A New Traveler" in 2010 drew further attention including a favorable review by Julian Cope, author of "Krautrocksampler".
