Boy Omega is the roof under which Swedish multi-instrumentalist Martin Henrik Hasselgren (formerly Gustafsson) collects his songs.

Boy Omega's unique brand of pop is at once fragile, vibrant and wholehearted, and has drawn comparison to the likes of Elliott Smith, Sparklehorse, The Cure, Bright Eyes, Sufjan Stevens, Iron & Wine and Xiu Xiu.

Since he began writing songs under the Boy Omega moniker in 2001, Hasselgren has put out an impressive, rich body of work, including five full length albums, two compilations, four eps, and numerous singles.

Over the last decade, Boy Omega has played close to 300 shows and shared stages with the likes of Isobel Campbell, Great Lake swimmers, Califone, Akron/Family, John Vanderslice and Herman Dune, to name a few. Hasselgren is also a member of the electronica-duo Kubot.

In 2011, Gaga Digi digitally released three of our favourite Boy Omega offerings: the 2006 full length lp The Black Tango, the 2008 ep Quiet Maneuvers, and the 2011 single Let the Dark Light In.
