There are lots of news to tell since the last round of updates, the most exciting being that I am now a contributor to Swedish music magazine HYMN. It’s an online site featuring new music and high-quality writing in Swedish. It’s my first time writing about music in Swedish so it’s as fun as it is challenging. So far I have written about one of the best records of the year so far, The Smoking Trees’ second album, along with a short interview with the band. I’ve also reviewed the latest book by Stuart David, the author of Nalda Said. Make sure to follow the site on Facebook to get all the updates – and we’re also hosting some club nights in Gothenburg, Malmö and Stockholm. I just played at the July event at Jazzhuset, and I will also contribute to the August date at Grand, Malmö. Here are links to my articles so far:
