Me (Amanda Aldervall) and Bjärton; the blond guitar, an ancient melodica and a smoking hot glockenspiel.
Influences
The great outdoors. Conversations. Summer nights and winter mornings. Bird singing. Trixie's big red motorbike. Popsongs from the 60's, 70's 80's, 90's and 00's. Early music and madrigals. Genes obviously. Bikerides. New places. Things my senses pick up on and the nostalgic thrill of dew-wet mornings in spring, the cherry scent, the cool clarion earth, the wet loaminess of the garden, the pungent breakfast smells and the floating snow of blossoms.

Me singing and playing instruments I don't master.
Andy asked me some numbered questions, and I was very happy to answer them here: afogofideas.blogspot.com
I recently recorded a Bruce Springsteen's cover for the "PLAY SOME POOL, SKIP SOME SCHOOL, ACT REAL COOL" Springsteen-tribute, read more about it on the wiaiwya site! wiawya
Yes Fraction Discs are truly a labour of love and Renée and Jörgen are such lovely people.
Wow the Himalayas sure beats being at London popfest (but only just, hahaha).
But I'm sure once the album is delivered you will have to play London and I can jump on the Eurostar to see you play. Or maybe I will see you in Stockholm (I should be there in the summer, if all goes to plan ... I like to visit every summer as I so love it).
Can't wait for the debut The Andersen Tapes album on the amazing Fraction Discs (they have released nothing that isn't less than brilliant, don't you think). It was great to hear your songs on P3 pop last monday evening. And maybe you will be part of the London Popfest in february ?! Would be great.
ja det är vi verkligen! jag önskar jag fortfarande hade en mina-vänner bok, då hade ni minsann fått ett formulär att fylla i hemskickat!(: hurra för ny låt! jättefin! emma
