I’m still not sure how this will work. See, I know that there are people reading this whom are not from Sweden, so me writing in english is really key to them of course. Still I felt really limited when I wrote stuff on my blogspot, so I think I’m in need of a change. This is what I’m thinking:
I’ll start updating on a daily basis in swedish and then I’ll do an international update once a week in english.
Alright, so what’s new? The new album came from the printers this week and I must say it really looks beautiful! Patrik Berg really outdid himself on this one. I’m really pleased with the sound of the album. It got a slick, flirting-with-the-80s thing going on, but is still raw and very clean-cut-pop. I think people will have a hard time labeling it though.

Nice, huh?
The first single of it will be a dancy track called “Click, Click”. The song features Hanna Lovisa (myspace.com/hanagbg). She’s amazing! I really like her songs on Myspace.
That’s all for now guys.

Hi David,
nice new outfit! Looks like I have to work on my Swedish. Although the weekly update might do, too.
I just wanted to thank you for the free EP with your great cover versions (current favourites: Solsbury Hill and The Only Living Boy In New York – maybe because they´re the most familiar to me, but I like all five)! They made my day, week and month.
Two years ago I first heard 1969 and Hacienda (via swedesplease) and have been Montyfied ever since. I am really looking forward to the new album (and hopefully a gig in or near Cologne one day in the not too distant future), since the last year was a bit of a dry spell for me, after I got all your previous stuff from Hybris (those pre-listening mp3s really paid off – thanks for those, too!) in the year before, and suffered a year of cold turkey after that overdose (well, Names Not Forgotten was a welcome relief).
I´m a bit irritated that the world won´t listen, since I had always assumed, that Clocks/Pretender would get much more attention, but it seems theyneed one more go to wake up to you. Since discovering your music I´ve been trying to get my friends in on it, too(http://www.kuenkneipe.de/dschungelfieber.html), but these stubborn sleepyheads (apart from one or two) keep resisting, mumbling stuff about falsetto singing – but I don´t hear them complain when Mr. Mayfield or Mr. Wagner do the same. Clearly they just need more time … Quality will prevail!
So, I´m really glad you kept on making music (still remember being down after reading you considered giving up music for other career options) and can´t wait to hear Skaizerkite. And everything else that follows in its wake.
Good luck, and kind regards,
Patrick
