Kjellvandertonbruket - Doom Country (2020)

”I have always been fascinated by what happens the first time a group of musicians take on a piece of music. I wanted to explore this and found some dear friends who felt the same and whose musicianship I admire.

The concept on this album is quiet simple. I spent 2 days the 13th and 14th of august 2019 writing; short stories, some chord progressions, some lyrics, some songs. A week later I invited Tonbruket to my house and we spent 24 hrs - the 21st and 22nd of august 2019 - recording approximately 2 hours of music…everything is live and first takes except for the backing vocals. When we mixed it we chose the stuff that fit on a 40 minute LP.” – Christian Kjellvander
