about

The second track on the Aftonland album is probably the most extreme and abstract but in a kind of quie floating way. It's based around a Cello quartet that Leo Svensson Sander recorded during the Tom & Tiger sessions but it didn't really fit at the time. A while back when I was cleaning and emptying the machines of old material I did a solo mix of only his Cellos and was completely floored by the beauty of his playing and how it immediately conjured up images…

So where do you go from there…? I felt I wanted to have something that would match but also sound sort of rusty and edgy but with grace and soul and who does that better than Reine Fiske? I've known Reine since he was in Landberk and I was in Änglagård and we have done the occasional track over the years...He is easily one of the best musicians I know with incredible feel and his performances are drenched with personality...He came in with his strat and tape echo and improvised over the piece injecting even more color and atmosphere.

And to top it off I wanted a sound that would have tone and attack but could move freely in and out of the piece….so to complete “The band” Stina Hellberg-Agback added her Harp. Her way of confidently working in abstract musical environments is nothing short of a super power. Incredibly difficult to edit as so much of what she records is amazing…! You want to keep it all.

When I listen to Friction I see an early orange sun rising over a beat up industrial harbour, sea gulls and rust. Glittering water and metal. Abstract shadows creating patterns and dissolving as the sun rises and moves...

What do you see?
