14 days and 14 nights
So, we finally made our way across the pond that is the Atlantic. First stop New York. Upon arrival at the venue we learned that hours earlier the Department of Health had shut the place down due to an excessive amount of fruit flies. Suck on that. The promotor was …

Hey there ... I might just be the worst blogger ever ... but I promise to max my sufficiency over the next few months. Right now, I'm at my mom's for Easter, but come next week I'll tell you guys all about our US-tour, SXSW, Kiss Kiss, Baumer and Tgr Lou shooting 250 …

The Loyal hits the fan
It took almost two years, but as of last week The Loyal is officially released in the US, courtesy of the ever so kind people at Eyeball Records. Come next Tuesday me and the band are flying in to play a string of shows in support of the album. Be sure to stop by:

A quick hello
Ok - you in the back. Yes you. If you have something to share with the entire class, speak up so that everyone can hear you! "Why another blog?" A just question my bold friend. Do you want coffee with that? Questions are like trip wires set up around invisible …
So dawns a new day
These days, on account of Bess, I get out of bed around 07:30 every morning. If I'm lucky. This is a change I find less and less frightening. In fact, after merely five to six hours of sleep, I feel better than after ten hours of it. Sleep mushes your brain and cloud …
A Partial Beginning
Today was, in all accounts, the first proper day of recording - a fact I find both invigorating and terrifying as fuck. We started out pretty easy, with laying down some vocals for one of the calmer tunes, a song called
Lupus in fabula ...
Feast your eyes on the reason for my recent radio silence; Bess!
Me and the Mrs brought her home two weeks ago and haven't been able to focus on anything else ever since. Screw our records and our jobs and our friends ... we've got a new baby y'all! We named her Bess …
The artists nipples
One might wonder - and rightly so - where the hell the sun's been lurking all summer. Well, yesterday I found her roaming about, and engineered a little sit down between the both of us, to set things straight, get the latest happs and what not. I'm happy to report that …
A threesome and then some ...
Yesterday I managed to lure Pontus - the god of all drums, including bongos - inside the batting cage, with flawless results.
After about one hour of stomping and beating and throbbing, he had lost about one kilo (2,2 pounds) due to perspiration. But as I said, the …
Berlinesque
For all of you who didn't know this; last year me and the Mrs temporarily relocated to Berlin, to take some time off touring, nurture our passion for food, club music and ourselves. The goal - for me anyway - was to endure for three months, maybe scribble down some …
Meanwhile in Stockholm ...
If I'm busy recording the new album ... one might wonder what the other guys in the band are up to these days. Well, here are the answers:
Pontus, is studying graphic design, records drums with TGR LOU every thursday and earns some spending cash from modeling (see …
A partial statement
In the past, I feel as if everything I did turned out exactly as I intended it to. But the older I get, the more random everything seems. In part, I find it invigorating, and in part not so much. In most aspects I have a one track mind, that tend to work best when …
Slacker friday ...
Taking things slow today ... hanging out with Bess, watching movies. Gonna wish y'all a nice weekend with a little something I put together. Thanks to Rasmus for providing me with the link to The Perception Laboratory's Face Transformer.

Half-time
Five small cups of coffee later, or two really big ones - which ever you prefer - and I'm more than ready to kick-start the day! Today is Friday, which for me means a day of rest, contemplation and design work. I'm currently working on five book covers at once, and …
Here's Queue the strings ...
As the year draws to an end, I reminisce about all the wonderful things that actually happened during it. I spent the first half in Berlin - the city that turned out to be so spellbinding that my little family have decided to move there permanently, come summer of next …

Ok ... right now I just have one word for you: Californication.
Thank you Showtime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The elusive Lou ...
Some days you fall between the floorboards
Some days you stay the same
Some days are longer than the life span
of the person you never became
I was in need of a little breather. Too many distractions, too much to do. My head was spinning at 80 mph, and if I slowed down the …
