It's been quite a while since I last wrote something here, I guess I've been busy somehow. I'm not sure that anything special has transpired but nonetheless time has passed very quickly lately.

I did a remix for God module that I'm not really happy with (Not because it turned out bad but because I got lazy when the deadline was four months away and waited to the last possible moment to do it and I can't really bring myself to be pleased with stuff that got done too fast, even if they sound good), then we did one for Blutengel that I actually think turned out quite well, considering the circumstances (Chris Pohl contacts me and says "here are the files, hope you work fast because we're in such a hurry you wouldn't believe").

We also did a song for a short movie, that turned out great and I'm hoping that it gets out for everyone to hear soon.

The most important news however, is of course that our album is finally entering the post production phase this november.

We'll start out with a single called "Shades Of Black", this was the first song written for the 'Take Cair Paramour'-album after finishing 'Three Cheers For The Newlydeads' more than two years ago. I wrote the refrain while walking through the winter landscape of my parents adopted hometown of Timrå. The song took form very slowly and it wasn't until a year ago that it actually started to resemble a real piece of music. It's a song about our love for gossip, about the attraction of scandals and the lack of nuances found in a sensation-hungry tabloid. I think it's a very typical theme for a synth pop song and I never did it before so here we go.

We're working with Gareth Jones on this, it's a real thrill for me since he did produce a lot of my favourite artists and bands like: Depeche Mode; John Foxx; Bronski Beat; Einstürzende Neubauten; Erasure; Nitzer Ebb; Nick Cave... I could go on.

I hope that we'll create something special that makes all of you who waited for such an ungodly amount of time feel that it was worth waiting for.

Our move to Berlin is well underway and I estimate I've only got a week or so left in Sweden. I'm looking forward to settling in under a metropolitan sky once more, to learn a new language and to meet new friends in a new world.

Good night
