Featured in the music blog Swedesplease.net!

Hello hello hello!

It''s been two days since the release of Sirens EP. I hope you've been enjoying it so far, but would also like to take the opportunity to encourage you to listen to the songs more than just once. There are lots of cool things to discover in them, sounds to explore, lyrics to decode etc.

Anyways;

In their latest entry, the music blog Swedesplease wrote a short notice about me. If you like to, you can read it HERE.

Have a great day!

EXTRA EXTRA: Download Sirens EP, my first release, for FREE!

Good evening!

I am very proud, a little scared, but mostly happy, to present to you my debut release as The Fiery Piano. It's called Sirens EP and is a four-track album about growing up, be the last one to die, mental illness and so on.. It's all in there, the lyrics speak for themselves, and the sounds sound like they should.

All instruments on the EP I play myself. The vocals are sung by me solely, except on the fourth and last track, "A Murderous Consequence", where Tove Fröberg contributes with her magnificent voice.
I've mixed everything myself, but got lots of professional input by Wallentin Richardson, who also mastered the EP at Discrete Motion Recordings in Malmö.
The idea for the cover artwork was Tove's, I created it, and Philip Blomqvist extended a helping hand.

I would like to shout out some special thankyou's to everyone who have supported me during the months I've been working on the recordings(in no particular order):
Tove Fröberg (for coping with recording sessions and late night mixing)
Oscar Montelius (for helping out with basically everything on this EP, even when it was just a thought)
Daniel Nilsson (my Feldt-mate, friend and inspiration)

Almost there.

Ok, I'm getting closer. The songs are finished, as in written, recorded and mixed. The last songs are send to the mastering studio, and if things work out as they should I will have all of them mastered and ready this very weekend.
I've decided to call the EP "Sirens", and it will be released for free as a digital download on my homepage as soon as the cover artwork is done. I'll let you know.
