Stadsbilder by Jakob Lindhagen & Dag Rosenqvist

Stadsbilder (”City Images”) is the first collaborative album between Swedish musicians Jakob Lindhagen and Dag Rosenqvist. The composers have both made names for themselves within the contemporary music scene – Jakob as an award-winning film composer with solo music streamed in the millions on digital platforms, and Dag as a highly prolific musician and sound artist, having over 50 releases over the last 15 years in a vast array of constellations, both solo works and as part of the duo From The Mouth Of The Sun, as well as film composing and music for dance performances.

The music on Stadsbilder intertwines layers of organic and electronic sounds, with minimal piano melodies meeting vintage synthesizers, found sounds, harmonium, banjo, kantele, Fender Rhodes and saxophone, as well as cello (played by Sebastian Selke of CEEYS).

Stadsbilder will be available in two distinct vinyl versions. The first comes in a limited, handmade edition of only 50 individually unique copies, each with hand done analog collages made from original vintage prints of views of the American southwest, antique interior design prints, and cut out, 100 year old industrial engravings and other paper ephemera. Each of these is mounted on the front of heavyweight, recycled kraftboard record jackets. On the back of each jacket is a corner mounted, double sided, art deco interior design print, and the album text is printed on separate corresponding pages from the same 1930’s book that the front collage materials came from. Each jacket then comes in a heavyweight outer poly sleeve.

There is also a standard vinyl version in an edition of 150 copies in a full color printed jacket. Both versions come with 180gm clear vinyl. The release will also be available digitally at the Time Released Sound Bandcamp page, and on numerous streaming platforms worldwide.

The release will be available physically as a pre-order, and digitally as well, on Friday, August 6th, at the Time Released Sound Bandcamp page. This is a pre-order...due to serious delays with the pressing plants of the world, this release will ship sometime in September.
