The first single from Solander’s debut album Since We Are Pigeons is officially released today, and includes the album version of Looking For Gold and the exclusive Shellac cover Prayer To God! It’s available for free download and streaming here, or directly from the embeded player below.

The album is released in Scandinavia on October 14 and in Germany, Austria and Switzerland on October 16, with more territories to follow. It will be available for pre-orders worldwide from the Tenderversion store very soon!

Since We Are Pigeons release tour in Sweden:
14 Oct - Stockholm, Pet Sounds Bar
15 Oct - Vänersborg, Biblioteket
16 Oct - Göteborg, Hagabion
17 Oct - Malmö, Skånes Konstförening

After five years of hard work in the same direction it seemed as a good idea to make some changes to A Tenderversion Recording. TVR has now recruited new blood and has relocated from Gothenburg to Malmö in the very south of Sweden. Above you can see the new TVR-logo and soon we’ll have a new and improved website up.
2009 will be a lot about expanding what has been built up since 2004 but as importantly it’ll be about exploring new paths and directions to find and match different ways for different people to express themselves. Right now we don’t even know ourselves where this initiative will lead us but we know it’s gonna be a lot of fun finding out!

But, it’s not all about visions, ideas and making plans. This spring is filled to the brim with stuff waiting to happen. Scraps Of Tape has a new album coming out. It’s called Grand Letdown and is being released in Scandinavia/Europe in March and in Japan later this year. Touring in Sweden, Europe and Japan is to follow.
Both Audrey and September Malevolence are getting their latest albums released in Japan. Audrey will also head over to Japan to play the Arabaki Rock Fest in Sendai 25-26 April followed by a few exclusive shows to coincice. Europe will be getting more of their fair share of touring this spring as well. Audreys The Fierce And The Longing is getting a release in UK, Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia and a lot of touring is being planned.
But it’s not spring yet and while the winter is still raging (or more like raining away) we’re happy to be introducing a new/old face to the TVR-family. Martin Lundmark from September Malevolence is finishing up his debut EP right as you read this. Under the name Peterbilt he plays songs in the same spirit as José González, Owen and Mark Kozelek and we’ll be happy to present it to you very soon on a limited edition 3” CD. Classy!

Listen to the titletrack from Grand Letdown by Scraps Of Tape here:

In the end of January, we change the church organ to the hard guitar and put Moto Boy, some strings and a piano in churches in Stockholm and Malmö.

The concerts will be a unique opportunity to experience the mini album with a string quartet and piano in its right element! Welcome.

25 January, Uppenbarelsekyrkan, Hägersten, Stockholm
27 January, Caroli Kyrka, Malmö

On the 4th and 5th September Gentle Touch will make their first, and very much longed for, appearances in Geramany. Their popish very modern synth based songs will be in its ultimate element.

4 Sep – The Magnet Club, Berlin, GERMANY
5 Sep – Hit the North, Grüner Jäger, Hamburg, GERMANY

One of Sweden’s biggest artists Lars Winnerbäck is expanding his already large tour, this summer, by including one more stage where, among others, Adrian Recordings sincere star Emil Jensen performs.

Emil spent whole last summer on tour bicycling around Sweden, and the whole fall on a train tour, if he was lonely then, he don’t need to be this time. As a statement for carpooling, Lars and Emil travel together with Miss Li, Cissi, Nour & Maud, Maia Hirasawa, Markus Krunegård and Sofia Karlsson, all of them performing during the way. The whole thing is sponsored by Amnesty.

Expect spoken word, classic songs as well as new musical pieces that will be featured on Emil’s third album, due to release this fall. He is right now in the studio (Gula studion), recording with Lars Halapi producing.
