Zombies are great girl/boyfriend material as they don't want you for your body, they only want you for your brain.

The studio mixing room has been moved! Had loads of problems with the old mix studio, lots of bass reflex problems and other annoying noise leakage. But now problems solved!

Mixed a promo version a while ago, and have got lots of feedback from industry people and close friends! Looks good!

Even though I'm smelling my own farts here, I just love the new stuff! Have listened to the album already like 3 times a day and don't get tired of it. Usually you get tired of it when you're working on the same songs for a long time, but I've been working on this one for one and a half year already with sound planning etc. paperwork, and listen to recordings and early mix demos since spring, but still no. I like this record very much, it's also very personally important to me. Working on it worked as a mental crutch for me as this year has been seriously shitty for me (arson, no flat, Ari left the band, divorce, etc etc). Of course there's been good stuff too, like getting Jesse into the band, Copenhagen Live 2010, but nothing has worked as good as a mental crutch than this album. To be able to compress and blend in your own feelings and spew them out like that is unique and effective way of therapy.

The whole album concept worked as a sort of device to turn the page in my own life. Pondering on the concept and writing lyrics forced me to re-evaluate my priorities and values in life. Don't know how well that translates to others, but for me it was definitely a cathartic experience writing and producing this record.



I actually have nothing more new or exciting things to say, just thought I'd update it for the heck of it and something. Well. Poppycock. Going to England again after a month. Coming home a few weeks before Christmas. Yep. That will be fun. That's all. Thank you and good night!
