Album covers

Markus — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 08:00:23 +0000

Since I don’t record new tracks during the summer I thought I might give something else. All throughout the summer I will cover my favourite album covers. First up: Smashing Pumpkins – Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.

Happy summer everyone!

You can’t call yourself indie rock without a picture with plaid shirt and a blue sky. You just can’t.

Summer plans

Wow, it feels so great that the EP is finally out. After a couple of days in limbo I am back again. Thanks for all your support (and downloads).

To support the EP release, I hope to do some gigs during the summer. Maybe some clubs, maybe some festivals. Who knows. I’m looking at different options right now.

More info coming soon. But for now. Enjoy the last nights of the spring. For the coming days, you’ll find me in this chair drinking hot chocolate.

New EP release

It’s finally here – Grand’s new EP. It’s called Spring Nights EP and hopefully you’ll like it. You can download it here.

Much love to everyone who supports Grand.

Cover credits

So the EP is ready for release and I will add it to the site shortly. But I just want to take this opportunity to present the front cover. It’s based on a photograph taken from my dear friend Markus Bergh. Visit his site for more info.

Done

So now it’s done. Tomorrow I’ll release my brand new EP. Four lovely songs. I still need to work on the cover though.

Now I will eat ice cream.

And oh, the new EP will be called Spring Nights EP.

In mixing

Markus — Tue, 04 May 2010 17:38:14 +0000

Everything is recorded and now awaits final mixing. But it was a recording never to forget. When I was about to start recording vocals, my sound card broke down. Turns out the phantom function for my mic crashed. But after a few calls (thx Johan) and a search in the attic for my old mixing board, I managed to sort it out.

So now it’s an all-nighter mixing everything so I hopefully can release my new EP tomorrow. I just need to get the cover sorted. I am still waiting for the cover photo to arrive.

I’ll keep you posted on the progress.

The end is near

Markus — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 08:50:15 +0000

The new EP is nearly ready. I have some minor adjustments to do and then I need to record all vocals. So that means I need to finish all lyrics, which is harder this time around.

I have some great ideas but I just can’t seem to put it all together. Hopefully I will have everything ready by the end of this week.

More updates soon.

Love
