This is record is inspired by the music of bass player/producer/all-around creative genius Bill Laswell. The music is bass-driven, spacey, slightly ambient, but with a beat. Faux Dub, if you will. My main objective for this album was huge bass…
Final show of the tour and a hometown show for me (and the Katatonia guys). Nice venue, never been here before. Not the best catering, kind of bland and uninteresting. But there was coffee, so I’m happy. At soundcheck we…
Nöjesfabriken is definitely one of the best venues on this tour. Big, spacious, clean. Lovely people working there. I missed breakfast, so my breakfast was lunch. Traditional Swedish Christmas food. Not my favorite, but it was very well-made. Did some…
Good breakfast. Coffee and sandwiches (what else?!) Tried using my Darkglass pedal as an audio interface today. I didn’t know I could do that. Worked like a charm. That means I don’t have to bring a separate audio interface on…

Ah, Trix. This venue used to be called Hof Ter Loo, which an old guitar tech, Kevin, said was an anagram for ”middle-of-fucking-nowhere”. Good venue, though. Good breakfast. Had a couple of sandwiches and some coffee. Recorded some more bass…
Woke up with a headache today. Not fun. Coffee. Had some Pizza Hut for lunch with Rikard and our bus drivers. Then hooked up my computer to record some bass for songs I’d been sent. Recorded two songs. Had the…
Had some time to record today, so that was nice. Then another listening session with a big Dutch magazine. He seemed to like the new album. Buy-out today. Boring. Burger King. Boring. Packed place today, almost sold-out. Tons of people at…
Another great venue. Breakfast was very nice. Had some coffee and watched ”På Spåret”. We then had a listening session with a big German metal magazine. One of our super-fans came by with gifts, which was amazing. Lussebullar. And I…
Couldn’t sleep this night either. Batchkapp today, but this is a different venue than the one I remember. Turns out they moved to this location three years ago. Fantastic breakfast. They had sausages, eggs, beans, the whole nine yards. Did…
