I feel very lucky by having had the following people help me record, produce and play on my debut album FACTION which was released through UK indie label Lojinx 3rd November 2008;
Henrik grew up in Denmark but soon found the winters and bacon a bit trivial so he opted for London and has the last five years been working like a dog. Sessions, tours and guest appearances for the likes of Sir George Martin, Morcheeba, Jason Mraz, Kim Richey, Gary Barlow, Jamie Scott & The Town, FrankMusik and Bo Bruce to name a few has made him a sought after musician. More interesting though is his debut album 'FACTION' from November last year for which he coined the word 'Scanbient' to conjure up the style. "Sigur Ros, Bjork, Kings Of Convenience etc and myself included has this Scandinavian (and ambient) tone and there's no way of getting rid of the basics of where you're from... unless you're a fake" A shade of Elliott Smith and Eno/Bowie instrumentals can also be detected on 'FACTION' for which both THE WORD and Q has given great write ups and reviews. Henrik's an artist to be reckoned with. Sit back, relax and enjoy!
Some people say this of FACTION:
“FACTION has style, sounds great and is properly lovely” – THE WORD MAGAZINE
“A work of understated atmospheric beauty” – Q
“FACTION is a very gentle ambient record. There’s lots to like on Faction" – AMERICANA UK
“An air of gentle experimentation” – CD TIMES
“If you like Elliott Smith or Sigur Ros you won't be disappointed” – BBC NOTTINGHAM
This month we mostly have Catie Curtis (with a Richard Thompson cover), Lindsay Fuller and The Cheap Dates (and who amongst us isn't?), Josh Fix with a track from the well-titled album This Town Is Starting To Make Me Angry and the rather lovely Red Rooster.
