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[1][2][3][4] and over time developed into a six piece live band; playing an eclectic range of instruments including banjo, violin and synths.[5]

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.[6] 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.[7] The following year, Hind Hand and Haven were reissued as the double album HH on US-based label Deep Water Acres.[8] Featuring The Goner in full band mode,[2] the release of Behold A New Traveler in 2010 drew further attention[9] including a favorable review by Julian Cope,[10] author of Krautrocksampler.
