About Me

Order my album at: www.fridlystmusic.com .
Available on vinyl and CDR."James Ausfahrt is the soloproject of Åke Strömer (Love is all, Still flyin, formerly of Hemstad etc.) James has been recording songs for a couple of years now and he has built up a reputation of a crazy sexy cool lo-fi artist on the west coast of Sweden. Any of you that have been lucky enough to hear him knows his music is addictive, trashy and beautiful. James believes in the “one take theory” and has recorded more than 100 songs of disco, pop, rock and roll, old school electronica and new wave all in the lo-fi mentality. He’s recording at home by himself with guitar, keyboard, bass and a drum machine, some of them are homebuilt. James is also heck of a driver, and hopefully he will take his car and drive to your town for a show, because you haven’t seen anything before you..ve seen James Ausfahrt. Don’t miss his debut on Fridlyst a.k.a. open field, out now."
