Blog posts from Largehearted boy and Faronheit + Upcoming Stufffff.

Good evening, fellow listeners and friends.

Today, the great people at the noteworthy music blog Largehearted boy included Sirens EP in their "Daily Downloads" post, alongside tracks from great bands like The Antlers and Okkervil River. Check out the blog, and view the post HERE.

I also forgot to tell you that the Chicago-based blogger Faronheit did a similar thing last week, only they call their section "Pick your poison". If you want to read more about that, push THIS big button.

This is great news for me, since it's kind of hard reaching out to people without big bucks and major labels backing you up. Fortunately there are nice people out there who write about music that isn't all about generating a cash flow.

Lastly, I would like to take the opportunity, seize the moment (poetry side: ON), or whatever, to announce that we're going to shoot some video footage with the band, hopefully resulting in some series with live versions of TFP songs you have or have not heard, starting next week.
More info about that later.

That's it. Go on. Surf yourself onwards!

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)
