Album of the Year and other good things

December 2, 2011 – 10:07 am

 

Yes, it's #1

Hey Friends,

So many good things are happening, it’s hard to keep up!

A short list of what’s good in these days:

- The biggest Danish music magazine, GAFFA, has named “Hymns from Nineveh” as Danish Album of the Year 2011. This is crazy. And wonderful. We’re proud.
- The readers of GAFFA have nominated Hymns from Nineveh as Best New Act of 2011 for the “GAFFA Prisen”. The winner will be announced at an award show the 8th of December.
- “Anywhere with You” is in heavy rotation on the Danish National Radio, which is nice, but what is nicer is that it is being tested on two user-designed hitlists, Systemlisten and Det Elektriske Barometer – we would be happy if you would go and give it a heart!

Last, but not least: We’re playing our Christmas Tour these days, and so far it’s been a fantastic experience playing the new songs for those, who came. You can still catch us here:

Dec 2 8pm Skt. Hans Kirke, Sct. Hans Plads 1, 5000 Odense C.  Free entrance!
Dec 8 8pm Vor Frelsers Kirke, Sankt Annægade 29, 1416 Kbh K (Info – Tickets)
Dec 17 7.30pm Aarhus Valgmenighed, Mjølnersvej 6, 8230 Aabyhøj.  (Tickets)

Hope to see you.
Love

The Secret Revealed: New Christmas Album in November

October 20, 2011 – 1:50 pm

 

A picture of the master CD

Dear friends

Today we reveal a secret, we’ve been keeping you for quite some time now: The 21st of November, we’ll release a Christmas album called “ENDURANCE IN CHRISTMAS TIME” that consists of 13 songs. As you might know, Hymns from Nineveh made a digital EP called Uncomplicated Christmassongs in 2009. These 5 songs will appear remastered on the album alongside alongside 8 new ones. It will be released on CD and on all digital platformes. You might think “Why make a new christmas album?!”. Well – I, the Hymnboy, felt an urge to write more songs about the both complex and wonderful Christmas time. It’s as simple as that. And – who says it isn’t possible to make 2 albums in one year? Why wait, if the songs are there, ready to burst out?

When you hear the word “Christmas album”, you might think about jinglebells and santa and elves and so on. I’m afraid this album will disappoint you, if that’s what you expect. These songs are about enduring the christmas time. How to deal with loss, loneliness or despair in the christmas time. But also – the songs discover what christmas is about, and what comfort and joy the christmas time can bring.
We’ve been working very hard and very, very fast (’cause – you know, we’re on tour and all) – but – we made it, and we’re very, very proud of the result.

We can’t wait to let you hear it.

Love
from
