tenth

So, about this thing and the next one. :D
The band, Incredible Jens, is at the moment a one-man-project. There is a bunch of visiting artists, mainly from Finland, taking care of the stuff where I suck more than usually. The album has been in my thoughts for the last 3-4 years or so (with different content, obviously) and I have been quite actively planning and updating the concept and the songs. The songs are no longer the same as they were in the beginning, even though three (3) of them are 5-6 years old. The songs are in Finnish, unfortunately, since they are written in that language. In the future, I might translate some of them, if it feels necessary, I doubt though, still. The time slot for making and finalizing this album came in the point when I moved to Sweden and there was no more a band to spend my time with.

The next album is on the way, the planning has been started, and few rough sketches for the songs are already made. And the language of the lyrics will be in english.

One point for this forthcoming album is to act as a showcase for musicians here (in Stockholm at the moment) and ease up the pain for finding them. The only problem is that now I feel like playing some Clash-styled punk-rock, and the album is filled with more or less progressive material. Sucks, eh?

We'll see.

BTW, there seems to be only one song that needs my attention, and then the mixing should be finalized within a week. The cover is needed, ordered from the Artist herself (Josefine Rotta).

Yours truly.
Hasta La Victoria Siempre!
