Tall Time

Born in 1981, I spent my teens listening to everything from Queen and Peter Gabriel to Jimi Hendrix and John Lee Hooker. My first band in high school struggled for a couple of years, yet as with so many others we finally split up without actually calling it quits. I followed my then-fiancé (whom I met in junior high) to the town of Jönköping and as I discovered Radiohead the search for new bandmates started. I actually met with Pelle for the first time, we shared an interest in the curiosities of Portishead and, well, nothing happened. Following the death of my mother and the separation from my fiancé, I started making my own music - a couple of gigs locally, nothing more, and the demos went in the big scrap when all CD’s were cleared out. But I must have done something right, since my future wife came with me, and now we’re married with three kids, two dogs and a cat.
I’ve tried my hand at everything from sixties inspired rock in french to folk music and indie, yet life has a way to occupy your time and mind when you try to be a good father, husband and employee. Maybe it was natural that it took a couple of years, and finally a depression, for me to make music again. We had moved back to Jönköping, and it was fate that put Pelle (now a musician and producer with Galandel and Spleenerie) in my way again, some twenty years later - and that he took Samuel (from Grande Royale and Spleenerie) with him. It turns out it's high time to release a couple of songs, and let them go.
