Song of the month - No such
thing
Music and lyrics by Erik Lundgren
Hello good people
and happy new year to you all. I'm sorry for the late update this
month, I've been busy. Making two new music videos. There will still
be some time before they are edited to completion. One video was recorded
on Iceland during and around newyear together with Lisa Nilsson and
one video was recorded together with some old friends in my hometown.
And besides that I thought it was about time for me to present another
Ballroom bastards song for you, so this months "song of the month"
is from the coming Ballroom bastards badass rock album called "Choose
to lose". The song is called "No such thing".
Other than that
I might add that the triple album is coming along just fine and I'm
almost halfway there.

All albums on
this page are free for download but you will need a program such as
winrar or 7zip or winzip to unzip it. Maybe any zip program will do
and most computers have one. If you have any problems with downloading
my music please let me know and I will help you.
I would like
to thank all of you who takes the time to write mails to me. You have
no idea how much it means to me. So thank you all for your wonderful
support.
Feathered is
simple and straight, no tricks, just one microphone and single track
recording of each instrument. I had a ton of fun recording it and
I'm starting to feel comfortable with my ukulele. There is a lot of
Kyoto in these songs, both happy and sad tunes, some nice feelgood
at the Kamogawa river and some earthquake inspired piano cords in
the end of the album. Hope you all enjoy it for what it is, to me
it's a bunch of random diary pages from days of my life. Download
it here.
Forms and formations,
It's been a long
while since I first started on the album and I spent a little to much
time making things harder than they should be. But I can finally say
that I'm done and share it with you all. Download it here.
Enjoy.
"One for
the road" is available for download here.
And please watch the video for the song "one for the road"
on vimeo, here.
This album came natural to me. I've been traveling and writing songs
along the way. I've been paying attention to nature and my surroundings,
letting that influence me in my writing. It's about some serious stuff
to but generally it's just about to live while you're alive. Enjoy.
This is a four track
ep from the wilderness. Please listen to it loud and enjoy it with
a sip of tea. And feel free to send me your thoughts. Should I make
more of these?
Lazy Day
"Lazy day"
aka Hannah Borjesson is a girl from Lappland (in Sweden) and last
year she visited me while I was living in Copenhagen. We recorded
four of her songs using an acoustic guitar and her lovely voice. Then
I post added my interpretation of the songs using some drums, electric
guitars, bass, synthesizer and a few well hidden harmonies. It was
a very fun project and I hope to record more stuff with her in the
future. She has a blog
in Swedish so if you're from Sweden or familiar with the Swedish language
you should check it out. The picture above is from a painting that
she painted and she will have an exebition inKafé
Gusto in the south of Sweden.
Ashes, feel
free to download it here.
Ashes is mostly an acoustic album with first takes on all tracks,
honest and straight forward. The whole album was recorded with the
kiss rule in mind, Keep It Simple Stupid. The lyrics where written
in the same way, less complex, more honest and simple.
The album
is called "Canvas" and contains a total of 12 songs, all
music is written and preformed by me. Started off as a single project
with 3 songs but ended up with 26 recorded songs and after a brutal
selection it is now down to 12.
The cover
art for Canvas is originally two oil paintings painted by Morten Aspegren
and they both represent me in two different ways. I am deeply honored
that he made such great art for me to use, and I warmly recommend
you check him out.
All the songs on this album
where removed from the "Canvas" release. There are still
a few songs unreleased from the Canvas recordings.
