• Busking season is back πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°...

Found my new favourite spot, had a great little socially distanced reception on Sunday and sold a bunch of CDs - it was so nice to play again!  Will defo be back there this week, maybe even later this arvo 😘..

Speaking of sets, I'm thinking to play another live-stream set from home tonight at 8pm CET #berlin time... tentatively going for a weekly thing... Check my stories later to see if that time is confirmed. Thinking of songs to play now. Again, it will be exclusively on my FB page, with good quality sound. A paypal link and my Patreon page will be linked too, in case you feel like chipping in something for my performance of joining my true blue crew of Brinky Believers 🀣πŸ₯°...

Hope you're enjoy this sunny early Spring tease of a week! ❀❀❀

Thanks @severynserika for the snap! πŸ₯°

  • New live session video out now on my Youtube channel at the link in my bio ❀❀❀.. 

Give it a good old comment, like and share if you're into the vibe x.. and please subscribe to my channel too, it helps a lot and I've got more videos on the way 😘😘😘...

This clip is actually from an earlier edit of the video, which was made by my bandmate @axeneighlou spontaneously in the moment we recorded the track live to @timgranbacka 's Tascam 244 4-track cassette recorder, who produced Weird Ones II, which this track opens. Together, they are Anonymous Depressed Dogs Club.

Made on a whim, Fritjof had one camera at his disposal and maximised on angles with the use of the cupboard mirror that happened to be in the room.  However, my face was obscured by the mic (which I actually liked), so later that evening after we finished recording, Fritjof got me to pose for a few shots in front of Tim's green-screen, playing the harp and looking the saddest I've ever been straight into the camera... Then our Daniel Lanois-protege slash Ingmar Bergman in-the-making bandmate edited it beautifully together and voila - hope you enjoy it! 

Have a great weekend! ❀❀❀

  • ONLY 15 HOUR MORE HOURS OF BANDCAMP FRIDAY - go to the link in my bio to listen to and buy my new lo-fi lockdown album, Weird Ones II, available for donation today only on Bandcamp - I just chucked 5 more bonus tracks on, so it's 17 tracks total, 9 new, 8 written in lockdown, 7 bonus alternate takes or first time phone demos, 5 featuring the legendary @timgranbacka and @axeneighlou aka Anonymous Depressed Dogs Club aka ADDC.

100% of whatever you want to donate goes directly to artists just today - please look for other artists that you support and chip in for their releases too.

This is a clip of one of the warbliest and most bootleg-sounding track of the bunch, "Losing The Day Again", which I guess can be added to the cannon of lockdown songs over the last year 🀣🀣🀣

Opening track, "Fall Into Myself" is streamable for free on Spotify and everywhere else, linked in my bio. A video is coming soon.

Album credits:
Produced, recorded, mixed, mastered, arranged by @timgranbacka who played keys, electric and did BVs on selected tracks.
@axeneighlou assisted with the production and played 12-string and pedal-steel guitars on selected tracks...

Check it out at the links in my bio! 

15 hours to go!

Have a sweet weekend! ❀❀❀

  • "Sellheim Street", named after the street I grew up on, is one of the solo songs from my upcoming lo-fi lockdown album, "Weird Ones II" out next Friday 5th Feb on Bandcamp for donation on Bandcamp Friday. You can listen to the song now, along with the album opener, by signing up to my Patreon page, linked in my bio, for as little as 3€/month. I will release a live session video and the rest of the album on there over the coming week...

The photo is the backyard rainforest garden of our family home, taken by my mum on New Year's Day. Like many in this collection of 12 tracks, including 9 new songs, it's got quite a stripped-down, melancholic, bootleg vibe, perfect for a lockdown winter's night in. This may get a full band treatment one, but here it is in it's most raw form for now. Head over to my Patreon to listen to the whole thing or get it next Friday on my Bandcamp.

Have a great weekend Xxx

Ps. Thanks for all the birthday love and messages last weekend! I had a pretty sweet one, considering the circumstances...

  • The pre-save link is in my bio for the opening track of this lo-fi album of some of the new songs I've written during the lockdowns of 2020. The song will be on Spotify on 5th Feb and the album will be exclusively released the same day on Bandcamp - the first Bandcamp Friday of 2021, when 100% of sales goes directly to artists. By signing up to my Patreon for as little as a cup of coffee/month (just €3!), you can get access to the opening track right now! Plus I will post a live session and release the album early just for my Patrons next week...plus there's tonnes of other exclusive content on there already and coming soon...just throwing it out there, wink wink, nudge nudge πŸ˜‰...

'Weird Ones II' is the sequel to the 'Weird Ones' EP back in 2016 when I first met my bandmates @timgranbacka and @axeneighlou - who have their own band, Anonymous Depressed Dogs Club, aka ADDC. Like its predecessor, it was recorded completely live on Tim's 4-track Tascam-244 cassette recorder in pretty spontaneous sessions having only just learnt the songs together, roughing out an arrangement and letting it bleed. Another similarity that drove me to call it a sequel was that most of the songs had not been road-tested live, which is quite unusual for me, and that probably adds to their vulnerability, for better or worse. Tim produced it and played keys, while Fritjof manned the pedal-steel and 12-string on a couple tracks. It's a pretty weird, low-key batch of songs (non-bangers mostly, but still worth recording), the bulk of which are intimate solo renditions - a somewhat random selection for sure.

This will be the end of the line for a few of the songs inevitably, but some might make the cut to get the full band treatment or end up on a more produced album at some point, not quite losing their place in the pile of more promising new material I'm setting aside. It's a solitary, melancholic and certainly imperfect collection of recordings, but there's a fair bit of soul, tape warmth and a warbly bootleg kind of feel perhaps for a lonesome winter's night in. All links in my bio! 😘😘😘
