Hi!

My labelmates in Murder will soon release their third album. There’s no need to say, why they are great. The song below pretty much says it all, doesn’t it?

Hi, hymnfriends.

It’s been a while. I’ve been so so so busy making music. SO, you might wonder, how far we are with the record? Frankly, it’s hard to say, but we’re closer to closure! So far, we’ve recorded 12 songs, and we want to record a couple more. Some of the twelve songs aren’t finished, but some are, and we are thrilled with the result (“we” are Aske, Caspar and I)! The songs will vary from orchestral songs with symphonic arrangements to simplistic, almost lo-fi-ish songs. Since we started the recordings, we’ve had approximately 15 people contributing with various instruments and lots of vocals. You might say, that it becomes more and more difficult to argue, that Hymns from Nineveh is a soloproject.. ! Last saturday, we had the honour of recording the magnificent Sarah Hepburn (Glorybox, Zhaeng Zhaeng, Kloster), one of my favourite female artists. She managed to lift four songs to higher levels. It was and is fantastic!

I hope that you will be able to stream some songs on myspace during the summer. I’ll keep you updated! You can go to Hymns from Nineveh’s Facebook page once in a while to see small updates.

If you have the time, you can visit my friends in Hunch Bettors. They’ve just won the music contest Karrierekanonen hosted by Danish National Radio P3. I play the cello on one of their songs. They will record an EP during the summer – keep a close eye on them!

That was all for now.

Love – Jonas
