I posted this track in it’s original version a few weeks ago and we played it live new years eve, but yesterday I recorded a pop-psyche version which is now online…

-> listen.

- Niels

I need to post this now. I’ve listened to this song a few times this last week… well, like four billion times.

I’m writing lyrics with a speed of two lines every day. That’s not really fast. I know.

But I kinda work in the slow lane for the moment.

But if you look at it from the bright side, I’ve completed the first verse for the new song in just two days. That’s more than I’ve written in a few weeks. That’s more than I’ve written this year. This decade. This decade of greatness. Futuristic greatness. 2010.

So enjoy the Beach House song and keep an eye out.

We have plans.

Major fucking plans.

- Niels

I don’t have much to write. Music will come.

- Niels

I uploaded a few old songs today.

@ Myspace.

Like I wrote the other day, I’m working on new stuff. It’s important for me to take a break from the record ‘cos I need some perspective.

I think the format of an album is quite hard to handle these days. I’m not that convinced that it’s so important for ME to make complete albums. I’ve started to work on some ideas that for the moment feels more right for the moment. We’ll see what happens. My ideas are still quite abstract, and would make no sense if written in text right here right now. You just need to wait and see.

I have 13-15 new songs almost done, and trust me, the creativity in this boy is far from dried out. That’s NOT the problem.

But now – before anything else, a quick listen to my song in progress and then some sleep.

- Niels

Yey & Hey.

It’s interesting to read what people write about your music.

It’s a trap wrote a few lines and posted “We are youth” at their place.

That’s nice.

I’m working on a brand new song for the first time in weeks.

A minimalistic groovy club hit. Trust me.

- Niels

Yes – I’m working on the album. It’s a slow process of choosing sounds and mixing the whole thing.

I’m very much out of words for the moment.

Forgive me!

- Niels

If you’ve missed the news that Jay Reatard passed away a few days ago – well now you know.

R.I.P.

- Niels

… and there’s a new song that you can listen to here.

Things will move differently after this.

- Niels

A video from the crzzy new year party.

Even though the quality is kinda lofi you get the vibe.

There might be some upcoming shows aswell.

And I’ve actually finished some new music aswell.

- Niels

Listening to music.

Finding peace.

Writing.

Working.

Still awesome -> Beach House – Norway

Long time since I heard from UNKLE -> UNKLE – Heavy Drug – King Unique Smoke Nest Mix

Another blast from the past of 2009. -> Yeasayer – Ambling Alp

Find inspiration and do something.

- Niels

This is where I work. Add a few guitars and a small synth. And more cables.

I know I write short updates – but I work slowly at the moment and there’s not much to say.

I have a few songs nailed down but still there’s a lot of work to be done.

- Niels

My sister Karin is truly a source of inspiration.

Early on we used to fight a lot (after the whole “we’re kids and we’re friends cos we’re kids”-period). I’m the younger brother and yes – she was stronger than me. Later on we became friends. And when she started her band with her friends she became my hero.

She used to force me to listen (well she played it loud in her room) to all sorts of strange music which I obviously hated in the beginning but later of course adored.

She made me realize that there are a lot of music out there. I remember the feeling when I understood the music she liked. Tori Amos. Rush. Ha Ha, I remember when I found my sisters cassette with Iron Maiden and I listened to the intro of the tape 100 million times (I suppose it was ‘Fear Of The Dark’). Up until that day I had officially hated “Heavy Metal Music”.

Well, my sister has always supported me and I think she might own more records with my music than I do.

So as a little homage I’ll give you this song that I love and that I wish that I had wrote.

Norway has absolutely nothing to do with anything, we’re from Sweden. I just fucking love this song.

Ohh, then I remember mom playing a record with Pink Floyd (a live recording of “One of these days”) and I just thought: well that´s some fucked up music but I like it. I also remember that old Leonard Cohen tape my parents had. I listened to it all day long everyday. First we take Manhattan… Goddamn, that’s a good song. I also remember the song “Gone fishing” by Chris Rea. That was my favorite track on the cassette my dad had in the car. I suppose I liked that he used words I could understand. I specially like the line “I’m going fishing, it sounds crazy I know, I know nothing about fishing, but just watch me go”.

I guess that somehow sums me up quite well by now. I don’t know much, but I try my best.

I’m going fishing.

Just watch me go.

- Niels

Thanks to Maria Lignell for the picture. It’s from Broadway Live last year.

I’m waiting for a few videos and pictures from the last concert.

And I’m also making progress with the record.

I did quite a major surgery on a song today.

I hope you will find it interesting when I’m done.

I must once again thank all the people who danced with us the other day.

It was awesome.

Truly awesome.

- Niels

What can I say?

I had the most fantastic time yesterday.

Thanks to Punsch, and the band, and the crowd… my god, fantastic crowd.

Fantastic evening.

Bye 2009.

Hello 2010.

Videos will come.

- Niels

There will be a special gig this new years eve with me and the gang and a special guest will join the band for the evening! I hope to get photos and movies from the whole thing and share it with you who are not attending at the party in Norrköping.

Also – I’ve made some major progress mixing my new album. Things are turning out quite nice I think. It’s taken a bit longer (as usual) to finish the album and complete the whole CV thing. But I suppose it’s gonna be out early 2010.

Well – there will be much going on 2010 so I better sleep now.
Later!

- Niels

I took a walk. It’s very nice. Almost no sounds. Everything is covered in snow. A lot of snow.

- Niels

Hello!

I’m trying to figure out more about my new mixer. It’s snowy and cold and I’m staying indoors. I’m having a few days of in Åtvidaberg and it’s hella nice. I’m trying to figure out some plans for 2010. There will be my new record, there will be livegigs and there will be surprises. I’m trying to focus on what to do next and to keep it simple again. There’s been a lot going on lately and there’s been little time to focus on my music.

Well, soon it’s a new year and I’m looking forward to it. I think it’s gonna be a blast.

- Niels

Hey people.

Just so you know – you can download any song or any album for free HERE. The latest Cmon Vultures will ask if you´d like to pay something for the album. That’s all optional. You can grab it for free aswell. So take a look and have a listen and download anything if you’d like it in your mp3player or iphone.

Here’s a faster way to grab the latest album. Just hit download!

Have a nice christmas now.

- Niels

Some snow. And it´s cold. Again. It’s nice. But it’s cold.

- Niels

Not your ordinary popsong. But then again it’s just a demo -> Listen.

- Niels

- Niels

A dirty tapemix of Dpend available.

- Niels

Next year you will be able to get your dirty hands on this fellas new record(s).

Mr Shotgun Language.

I am somewhat involved in the mixing process here so I’ve already heard a few songs.

And yes – it’s gonna be awesome.

Regarding the progress of my follow up record I have narrowed it down to 10 tracks and I’m almost there.

You can still hear some new sounds at My Space.

For a few days.

Then they’re gone again.

And yes – there’s a surprise going on.

You’ll see.

- Niels

Welcome to my slowest disco so far.

Listen.

A slow disco need some blue lights or what?

- Niels

Morning and night. A week pass by quickly.

- Niels

This is my 200th post. I started about a year ago. Actually 383 days ago. I´ve written mainly about the making of my newest record but also about daily things and I´ve posted pics from travels and concerts. I´ve made a few notes about friends music and I´ve written about stuff I like and don´t like.

Right now I´m working on CV:2 but I´ve come to realize that it´s goddamn hard to produce albums. So I’m gonna take a small break from completing the album and just do random songs. Initially I had a very focused idea about CV:2 but for the moment I just wanna let it rest and to make whatever songs that comes out of my head.

I’m sure that the result of CV:2 will be different because of this. I will find new songs and new aspects of doing the record. The downside is that it will take a bunch longer to finish it.

But who’s in a hurry? You can hear my songs on Spotify, you can download them at bandcamp and the new stuff will be uploaded at myspace as soon as songs are ready for a listen.

I’ve been quite lazy about this whole live-thing. We did a few concerts that went of great, but then I just had no time.

But everything has it´s time. You will see!

Anyway – I will keep this blog up and running as usual, posting new music and new nonsense for you to follow if you have any interest.

For now you can enjoy my latest song HERE!

- Niels

I almoooost finished another song today.

So far I’ve posted two guitarsongs. you know. guitars. Distorsion. Almost rockmusic.

This next one is .. well. different.

If the last record was straggling in all directions this record will be even worse.

That’s how I want it.

- Niels

Sorry for repeating myself, but since I’ve started to use bandcamp so you people can download/stream/buy cds pretty much whatever I’ve done I need to tell you that I made a major update today adding all my releases and all my songs. I also added stuff that ain’t available anywhere else.

So please check THIS out.

You can stream everything right upfront but the nice thing is that if you wanna download anything you set the price and just fill in your e-mail and then you’ll get a download link sent to you. And yes – you can download everything for free!

So check it out, listen if you want and share anything you want anywhere.
