These beautiful mornings…
Have been sitting since around 5 this rainy Saturday morning, working in-depth with tons of stuff for the album, like I usually do. Thing is, it’s very hard to explain what we are creating becoz this one is so complex. There’s such a clear vision with this whole package and it’s coming together piece by piece now. To hear the tunes with Jörgen and Ruby is just amazing. It’s one thing to imagine what the vocals will sound like when I plan their sections – it’s a completely new ball game when you actually get to hear them within the songs, the way they work with each other. This is just on a completely different level compared to what we have done in the past. And don’t even get me started on Dirk’s performance on those goddamn drums… You will see.
At the time of creating “BTNA” it was a huge, huge step up compared to previous albums, both composing wise and playing wise. To compare “TCRA” to that one is like taking one huge step up to the top of Mount Everest whereas “BTNA” was walking up a decent sized hill. And fuck knows “BTNA” is no joke in any area. But this one, this beast is just something else. I can’t wait until you experience it first hand.
Since you guys are the ones making this album possible by donating to THE TPH DONATION EXPERIMENT, I always felt I could do more with this album, simply becoz I believe you deserve it. I am almost there now.
There’s still quite some work left before this one will be mixed though, but I am allowing this to take the time it needs. I am not rushing anything. With all the work put in, it would be utterly stupid to settle for anything but the best. It’s been something like 18 months since “BTNA” came out, so it’s not like we are taking a long time to come up with an album like this. You will be amazed with the result. I guarantee it. If not, well – then you never liked us in the first place.
Now, if you excuse me, I have to go back to work on this masterpiece. I am on a mission.
