I have finally released my new EP "The Basement Takes From Textilgatan 7" on my own label Byker Wall together with Universal Music.
"The Basement Takes From Textilgatan 7" is a pun between Bob Dylans world and the basement in Stockholm where we actually recorded the songs.
Most of the songs are taken from the very first demo sessions. We kept everything that we thought had the right expression and feeling and then we played around with it and added sounds and what we thought was necessary for the song.
The EP is mixed by Ebbot Lundberg (from The Soundtrack Of Our Lives). Other friends and great musicians that have been part of creating the songs are: Conny Nimmersjö (Bob Hund), Martin Hederos & Ebbot Lundberg (T.S.O.O.L), Stefan Axelsen (Weeping Willows), Bebe Risenfors (Tom Waits/Elvis Costello), Erik Nilsson and Jon Bergström.
