Mats Karlsson, guitarist and songwriter of the classic Swedish hard rock act 220 Volt, releases his first solo album "The Time Optimist". Mats grew up in Östersund, northern Sweden, but has lived in Stockholm since the mid-80s.
The new album is a collection of songs that are a bit more relaxed than the 220 volt material and move freely between rock, hard rock, singer/songwriter style and some AOR touches here and there.
