Tore Johansson (born 6 November 1959) is a Swedish record producer, composer and musician based in Malmö, Sweden.
"[1]Untutored in the art of recording, he acquired his skills through "trial and error".
His main inspiration at that time was classic recordings from the 1960s and '70s, and in fact attempted to capture an old style in a conscious reaction against the production methods employed at that time, which he and his friends thought were bad.
[1] His first five years as a producer were largely focused on developing the Swedish indie band The Cardigans, for whom Johansson has produced five of their six albums to date, beginning with the 1994 debut Emmerdale, excluding their fifth studio album Long Gone Before Daylight due to artistic differences.
As someone as new to the studio as the band these sessions were an equally valuable learning experience for both parties.
