about

This duo-album came to life in an unexpected way. Karl Jonas Winqvist wrote the lyrics and songs (except for the covers) and handed them over to Gilbert Johansson who did the rest (production, recording, instrumentation etc). This brilliant album have ten tracks on the vinyl edition and twelve on the cd/digital. It features great guests as Terre Roche (from the N.Y sister's trio The Roches) who sings on the duet "be not so fearful" and the macedonian clarinetist Use Mustafov and more. The lovely choir "hasch, bin & vin kören" (consisting of the three amazing vocalists elle kari sander, nina kinert and anja bigrell) also bless every track with their backing vocals. Analog mastering by the legendary Janne Hansson at Atlantis Studio, Stockholm.

"Ok, this is quite some album you have made here. It's sounds a little like if Talk Talk, The Flash and the pan and Yo la tengo had a band together. Which they don't and if they would I bet it would not sound anything like this...So, nevermind what I'm failing to describe here. Except this: I have played this album all week long and that seldom happen. Amazing lyrics/songs and ace arrangements. So, it's warmly recommended by yours truly." Alistair Robarts, nov 2016.
