If you haven’t already given this bright canadian star a listen, then you definitely should start with his new album “Songs About Dancing and Drugs”. It is a fascinating journey into a reflective mind in a superficial world. I stumbled upon Jeremy Shaw’s one man project over a year ago and have been wondering when he would release an album. His track “Fight Sounds pt. 1″ was what got me hooked, but unfortunately his EP “Pre-Earthquake Anthem” didn’t live up to my expectations. With the release of his first full length album, my concerns over wether “Fight Sounds pt. 1″ was just a lucky punch was put to shame. This album is just as complex as it is simple. As deep as it is shallow. So far one of the best albums of 2009.

I am leaving for Århus tomorrow. I have booked a studio for the good part of a week and the plan is to play around with the material I have written so far. It’s really nice to have the time and focus to finish the songs I have written for the coming albums.
Last time I did this, was a few months ago when I spend a week in my family’s vacation house. My brother was with me for couple of days up there. He interviewed me about the albums and cut it all together in a short segment, from the cold north. Hope you enjoy it. It’s in danish but I am working on a subtitled version for all of you from outside Denmark.
Over at bandbase.dk they have a project called MixToVerdener. The goal is to see what happens when contemporary musicians get to play with classical music. I was asked to be a part of the project and I ended up with a song called “When You’re Ready, Let Go”. It’s a gloomy song with a heavy bassline.
Bjørn Svin made a track for the project as well and the whole deal is available or download at mixtoverdener.dk. Enjoy.
