Juniper 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
