"Vinyl! Get your smoking hot vinyl here"

Hi everyone,

hope this entry find people enjoying the bliss that is summer. We are having beautiful days here in Stavanger, which means Serotonin City here I come! Loving it. It's all about vinyl these days, by the way. Just spent an interesting day in Hyde Park, where we were getting planning to spray paint the covers of 500 7" vinyls of From Grace. We did about 10 before the thunderstorms caught us off guard and we had to seek cover under a big tree....? (how smart is that) We will have a video blog of that out soon, just need to figure out how imovie works i guess. Can' be that hard!

Lots of things are wrapping up now it seems and deadlines aplenty looming on the horizon. Just sent the score for the movie "Rottenetter" to vinyl pressing the other day and also just approved covers and masters for the "best of" record coming in Norway in September. Will feature a bonus DVD with a recording from Paradiso in Amsterdam as well as the music from the movie I just scored and some other snacks. Really putting a lot of effort into this so it will be worth the money! Meanwhile, new concerts are popping up all the time thankfully. One of the newest ones being Latitude Festival in UK on the 18th of July. This gig came so unannounced that we will actually have to get a few stand-ins for the regular guys in the great october sound. (my trusty band the last 8 years) But what stand-ins: replacing KK on pedal steel this time will be legendary UK player BJ Cole. Google this guy and you'll know you've heard his licks on some of your favourite records. Really looking forward to this, probably be a bit nervous too. More than usual, I mean.

Also just in is a concert in Copenhagen on 14th September with DR Orchestra. Full string section and a welcome visit back to one of my absolute favourite cities to play in! This came in addition to the ones we are already doing with Trondheimsolistene in Norway in early September. Hope to see you all there, don't think we will be doing these kinds of shows too often:)

Most importantly though, I am working hard on the next album. Going to Normandie in late July to spend a few weeks with my producer Morten J. Olsen. I am starting to see the shapes of a great album. A little weird maybe, but I think it will be fantastic if we can grab on to those clear moment and just work really hard to get them on tape. A long process, but a necessary one.

Anyways, I'll keep this one short cause it's summer and I feel like swimming in the ocean. Will write again soon and hopefully see some of you out there as well!

All the best,

Thomas
