Everything and nothing. Maybe if everything is as we want it to be you can hear the sounds of desperate cries demanding something out of life that seems a bit too far away to reach. You might hear the sounds of false happiness or maybe just plain joy. It is you that decide what we sound like. Make up your own mind and dont listen to anybody elses opinion.

Those of you that have heard of Friska Viljor before probably know the story of how Daniel Johansson and Joakim Sveningsson started the band after both their relationships had gone down the drain. Those of you that haven..t heard of the band still know this particular kind of story far too good. Heartache has always been one of the prime catalysts for artistic work, and every artist sees their own suffering as something unique, and their thoughts and work about it as something the whole world should share, says Daniel.
After four years using music as a cheap therapist both Daniel and Joakim have now come to the point in their lives when it..s time for a fresh start. This clearly shows on the band..s third album ”For New Beginnings”.
The lyrics no longer consists solely of broken hearts. Instead there..s stories of happiness, sorrow and hope. You..ll get some soul searching in If I Die Now, a bit of nostalgia in the childhood portray Manwhore, and some apathy in
Hibiskus Park.
There..s also some changes in the music. You still get the drastic leaps between genres and the bands typical instrumentation with everything from mandolin, ukelele and glockenspiel to accordion, clarinet and saw. But you can clearly sense a new direction, away from euphoric choruses towards depth and seriousness.
thanks for this wonderful gig at rolling stone weekender
can't wait to see you live in hamburg / knust a location that's 300m away from the "grüner jäger" where this street musician thing was planned and ended in a beautiful song "wohlwill".
by the way, i think "if i die now" could also be taken as a single.
hey saw you in bremen 2 weeks ago! you are very good live. now i bought all your albums-very great music! i will see you in dortmund 19th november and maybe in cologne one week before. "people are getting old" is the best track of your new album i think. i only listened to parts of this album at amazon..your vinyl havent arrived yet:( "arpeggio" is still your best track so keep on the good work regards, Felix
