You receive a fancy letter in the mail. An invitation to a cocktail party. A few days later you find yourself poolside with a colorful, but not too colorful, drink in your hand. A bit too drunk, involved in a bit too deep conversation about David Lynch..s new movie; a documentary about the dark December days around a concert in Berlin, featuring a super group made up by Vangelis, Roy Orbison, Kate Bush and Jim O'Rourke..

Logh's fourth record sounds somewhat like that. If one wants it to.

Since the people of Logh are so bullheaded and since they always have to do everything the other way around and since their last record was recorded in one day, they decided this time to record for way too long. Someone called it the longest indie recording in world history. Perhaps you shouldn't take that for a fact, but it really did take a long, long time.

There wasn't really supposed to be any new Logh record within a foreseeable future but then, in January 2006, the band headed out on their umpteenth European tour. A tour which proved to be so much fun and so successful that a spark was lit. Following that, music was being written and recorded non-stop until the record, in November, finally was done.

The file sizes of the sessions in Pro Tools had reached dizzying heights after months of attempts of finding something that no one knew what it looked like. When the time came for Pelle Gunnerfeldt to mix the record, he probably laughed, or cried, to himself when he opened the files and saw the mess. Somehow though, he managed to straighten it out with the help from the iconic image of Mark Knopfler projected in 3D above the mixing console.

What you yourself will find in the record probably depends a bit on what you bring to it. But like the tale of Snake Plissken in Escape from New York, this one also tells the story of someone trying to get out and away from a dark, threatening and chaotic existence. But maybe wearing a slightly wider, self-ironic smile. And definitely holding a much cooler drink.
