Hello, Reader.


Happy Easter! I hope you have enjoyed the Easter Holiday! I spent mine in the beautiful Faroe Islands. I played a show in the capital city, Torshavn, and also got some time off to visit a good friend of mine and the breathtaking Faroese highlands.

Tuesday morning I was interviewed to the Faroese National Radio (the morning show called “Good Morning Faroe Islands”. I also played two songs, So mournful the elegy, So comforting the hymn and Selma. Listen to it here.

Wednesday I played at The Nordic House, which must be one of the world’s most beutiful venues with a panorama view over Torshavn city and the Atlantic Ocean.

Hello, Hello!

At least four good things happened in the studio today:

1) David Blomqvist (the gentleman who also played dbl.bass on the christmassongs) came by, and made the first guestappearance and did some doubblebass on Selma and So mournful the elegy… He was great! We did some rythmical experiments on both of them with the bass, it was a good creative process.

My dear readers.

Welcome to the new blog. In the future, http://www.hymns.dk will be THE place to go for information about what happens with Hymns from Nineveh. A big thank you to Søren K for helping me out.

Monday, Aske and I began recording the forthcoming Hymns from Nineveh-album! Once again, the action takes place in Pinligtavshed. It feels great finally to be doing it, and not just thinking and talking about it.

We plan on working until May. Right now, we really don’t know where it is going to end, but we have a feeling, a feeling which is hard to put into words. We’ve selected 5 songs to begin with, and when they’re done, well pick 5 more, and so on.  Yesterday we recorded guitar on “Selma” and “So mournfull the elegy..”. Just to get started.

We’ll meet again on thursday, where the first guest-appearence will happen: David Blomqvist will come and put some folky doubblebass on Selma.

Three more things..

Three more shows added to the concert-calendar, including the first Faroe Islands show ever. Unfortunately, I will come alone and without the beautiful band of Hymnboys and -girl. But I’m looking forward to visit the lovely sheep-eating brothers and sisters of FO. Anyone, who have been there and could give some good advice on what to see?

Danish Music Mag. GAFFA picked up the story, that I’m recording and going to tour w/ Murder. Read about it here (in Danish). Also, Danish musicblog, Blaa Vinyl, writes nice things these days.

Finally, I can tell you, that a young, Danish documentarist is working on a Hymns from Nineveh-documentary. He will be following us around the next couple of months.

That was all for now. /Jonas

Hi, everyone!

The Copenhagen snow is melting – The Winterking is falling, Queen of Spring is coming!

As I mentioned in the last post, we did a videoshoot some time ago – below you can watch two more videos: Selma and a brandnew song, So mournful the elegy, so comforting the hymn! Hope you enjoy.

Yesterday, A&R from Good Tape Records, Aske, Caspar and I met to talk about the forthcoming album. More about that later.

We’ll play @ Løves Bogcafé, Vesterbro on Friday. Hope to see you there!

So mournful the elegy, so comforting the hymn
