Stadsbilder | TRS099
Stadsbilder (”City Images”) is the first collaborative album between Swedish musicians Jakob Lindhagen and Dag Rosenqvist. The composers have both made names for themselves within the contemporary music scene – Jakob as an award-winning film composer with solo music streamed in the millions on digital platforms, and Dag as a highly prolific musician and sound artist, having over 50 releases over the last 15 years in a vast array of constellations, both solo works and as part of the duo From The Mouth Of The Sun, as well as film composing and music for dance performances.
The music on Stadsbilder intertwines layers of organic and electronic sounds, with minimal piano melodies meeting vintage synthesizers, found sounds, harmonium, banjo, kantele, Fender Rhodes and saxophone, as well as cello (played by Sebastian Selke of CEEYS).
Stadsbilder will be available in two distinct vinyl versions. The limited, handmade edition of only 50 individually unique copies comes in heavyweight, recycled kraftboard record jackets. Each cover features a mounted hand done analog collage made using elements from three vintage books: colorful views of the American southwest, art deco interior design, and individually cut out industrial engravings. On the back of each jacket is a corner mounted full page from another book of 1930s interiors. Beneath that, the album credits and track listing are printed on the corresponding descriptive pages discussing the interior view used on the front collage. Each jacket then comes in a heavyweight outer poly sleeve.
There is also a standard vinyl version in an edition of 150 copies in a full color printed jacket. Both versions come with 180gm clear vinyl. The release will also be available digitally at the Time Released Sound Bandcamp page, and on numerous streaming platforms worldwide.
The release will be available physically as a pre-order, and digitally as well, on Friday, August 6th, at the Time Released Sound Bandcamp page. This is a pre-order…due to serious delays with the pressing plants of the world, this release will ship sometime in September.
