I have released a few albums over the years, but this one is among the best I have ever done. It has been an extraordinary journey. A thorough investigation of my family history. The invisible marks that trace through time, which we embed in each other through generations. My creative exchange with director and screenwriter Anna Emma Haudal initially kicked off a process when she asked me to write the music for the DR drama series Generations. In that process, I had to draw on my own experience and what we all have in common—being human. With more or less complicated family relationships. The unspoken that can be inherited, which nevertheless shapes us. All of this has helped to form the framework for the songwriting for this album. I hope you will listen and share, that you may be able to see yourself reflected in some of the songs, and that they will have a continued life with you.
I owe the biggest thanks to my darling and closest collaborator, Silas Tinglef, with whom I wrote a few songs. We produced the music together, and Silas is an inexhaustible source of exuberant and creative energy, plays a myriad of instruments on the record, and has also recorded and mixed it all. Everything becomes a little easier with him! In addition, I would like to highlight Maria Jagd, who contributes with eminent string arrangements, which have helped to lift the production to a great extent. Furthermore, AC has beautiful contributions on bass, Anders Trentemøller on synth, the dearest Ned Ferm on saxophone and flute, and Lucky Lo on BVs. A big thank you also goes to Brian Batz, who has mastered the record, and to Peter and Laura Littauer at my fantastic record company for many years now, Stunt Records. Heartfelt thanks also to to Rita Blue and Tine Solkær Reingaard,
