Age and Time

no comments

age_and_time_smallOn the 18th of November 2009, Age and Time was released to celebrate the ten year anniversary of the release of the first Lost Shadow recording (a single called Lost and Found). This anniversary album consists of 12 tracks, one for each year Lost Shadow has been active, plus one additional sum-up track.

The goal of the album has been to remake the songs so that they sound more modern, and offers something new even for the long time Lost Shadow listener. The focus on the album is highly electronic, capturing the major part of Lost Shadow’s career. The degree of changes made to the original tracks varies, but you who are used to specific versions of Lost Shadow songs are in for some surprises…

The album features collaborations with Love Rönnelid, Janne Bengtsson, Cinna Gärdenfors and Anders Bengtsson. The first single released from Age and Time was The Man Without A Shadow. The whole album is available for download at: http://www.last.fm/music/Lost+Shadow/Age+and+Time

  1. Lost And Found

Juniper and Cinnamon

one comment

juniper_smallJuniper and Cinnamon is the new Lost Shadow album released on the 12th of December 2008. The album consists of twelve songs in a very small and minimalist mood.

In December 2006, when I had just finished the Intuition and Decision album, I visited a store that sold tea, spices and other such things. The atmosphere was extremely cosy and nice, and I started thinking about making an album deeply connected to spices. At the same time I had just decided not to work with acoustic instruments again for a long time. So the idea was sort of put on ice. But in the Autumn of 2007, when the electronic Truths and Consequences album had been released, I once again revived this idea, skipping the spices connection, but keeping the closeness and cosiness of the spices store.

Through the Spring I had been fascinated with Emiliana Torrini’s work on Fisherman’s Woman, and I thought that making an album in the same mood as hers would be the goal of my project. So I went back to the guitars, and stated for myself to only use one main instrument, and occasionally an instrumental overdub, on each song. I almost stayed to this rule, making this album my most minimalist this far, if you choose to look at minimalism that way.

The first single released from it was Wrong. The second single released from this album Train. The whole album is available for download at: http://www.last.fm/music/Lost+Shadow/Juniper+and+Cinnamon

Truths and Consequences

no comments

truths_small is the latest Lost Shadow album that was released on the 18th September 2007. It is, as the first single Rumours hinted, a heavily electronic based album, quite in the Pet Shop Boys’ style, but it is also inspired by Stuart Price’s Madonna productions, Robert Miles, Robbie Williams, Air and Everything But The Girl. People familiar with the Lost Shadow sound won’t be disappointed, since this is an album with hit after hit, stacked on top of each other.

In some way Truths and Consequences is Lost Shadow’s break from guitars and tea drinking, a holiday trip back to the roots of his music. Comparision to Earth Is Dead – New World Rising and One wouldn’t be out of context, though this is much more through-worked and mature.

Track Listing

  1. True
  2. Rumours
  3. Love At First Sigh
  4. Iceland
  5. It
  6. This Is Not What You Want
  7. Prince Charming
  8. Little London
  9. She Always Smiles To Strangers
  10. Brother-In-Love
  11. The Man In The Back
  12. The Greatest Symbiosis
