Phonocratic Records

Intuition and Decision, released on 13th December 2006, was the first album by Lost Shadow since the Single-Minded collection. The album is a quite acoustic album and was under production from the Spring 2005 until Autumn 2006. It is heavily inspired by Damien Rice, Leonard Cohen, Tori Amos and other songwriters in that genre. Lost Shadow has worked with guitarist Anders Bengtsson, who has assisted Lost Shadow on serveral other records, and Hanna Åkerblom who plays the oboe on two tracks.

Three singles were released from the album, “Halfway Between Tori and Beth” (released 2006 09 26), “Prison Cell” (2006 11 05) and “Leave” (2007 02 21). The cover art (seen on the right) was made by Oskar Blomberg.

Single-Minded is my singles collection, containing tracks taken from “Relentlessly” to “Café Phonocratique”. It also contains the new song “Single-Minded”, which was recorded especially for this collection. All songs are remastered in Autumn 2005. The following text is taken from the album sleeve notes:

I came up with the idea of making a singles collection when I was finishing One in Spring 2004. I wanted to put something together that shown the evolution of my songs and what changes in styles, mood and subjects I had done. Shortly after I got the idea of making a b-sides collection, which I wanted to name Besides. So, I had to come up with a good witty name for the a-side collection too. I wanted a short title that had the word “single” in it. Obviously the first thought was “Single”, but I thought it was too simple and additionally I had a girlfriend at the time, so it didn’t feel accurate either.

Then I went through my dictionary and found the word “Single-minded”. Not entirely satisfied I stopped looking anyway and thought that there was still time to think about it. Then when I got the idea for the song Single-Minded I decided to go with that title for the singles collection too.
