NEW RELEASE: Danish folk singer Butzback is Songcrafter Musics newest signing, and his first album "Debut" was released on April 3rd 2009 to rave reviews in Denmark. Butzback has written a bunch of brilliant folk songs with lots of nerve and great, danish lyrics and he delivers them with a strong and quite unique voice resembling folk artists such as Povl Dissing and Benny Holst. Combined with a simple but very effective guitar backing this album stands out as a very clean cut record.

April 15th 2008: "Safe & Sound" by Amalie Riis. On the forthcoming album, ”Safe & Sound”, Amalie has conjured up her own unique landscape of pop, folk, and americana, with the help and supervision of producer Morten Maltesen. Imagine Edie Brickell meets Sheryl Crow, and you will have a good idea of the quality of the craft on this album.No doubt this recording will prove to be a true milestone, in an already impressive creative run, for this young songsmith.

March 17th 2008: "Blissfully Unaware" by Tobias Stenkjaer. “Blissfully Unaware” deals with the pain of losing our loved ones, of letting go of the past and embracing the future. On the album Tobias infuses the country genre with a healthy dose of pop sensibility, in an intriguing landscape of beautiful vocals, soaring acoustics, and rocking roots.

AUGUST 13th 2007: "From Here To Heaven" is the long awaited studio album from Martin Hoybye. This recording oozes warmth and presence, while Martin Hoybye manages to deal lyrically with the many sides of human existence, love, loss, gain, politics, children, adults, religion, and time. "From Here To Heaven" was produced by the multi-instrumentalist Dennis Ahlgren (Tina Dico). Visual artist Matthew Joseph Peak (Nightmare on Elm Street, 24 hours) has designed the cover and cd-package, making sure the warmth that went into the recording is reflected in the album's artwork. The song sample on this page "From Here To Heaven" was co-penned by Teitur Lassen, and Kajsa Vala sings harmonies

JUNE 18th 2007: CS Nielsens "Against the Dying of the Light" holds a treasure chest of gothic americana-inspired story telling, and this recording grew out of the scene surrounding CS in his hometown of Aarhus, using players that also support CS Nielsen live, it was produced by organ virtuoso Jacob Horney. When the televivion station DR2 did a special on Johnny Cash, they thought it only natural to include CS Nielsen's two cents. Listening to "Against the Dying of the Light" one fully understands why ... "Against the Dying of the Light" is an impressive record, a true keeper, and a milestone in CS Nielsen's songwriting career...
