Re-release – Humble waves

It’s been almost six months now since we released “Humble waves”, our second album. We really liked the songs back then (as we do now), but felt that the production could be better. For this reason we have now remixed the whole album. You can download it for free, share it with all your friends and tell your unborn grandchildren about it.

Many sleepless nights were devoted to finding the right sound. As mentioned before, we were very happy with the original songs in general, but I (Jon, producer, singer and song writer) felt that the production did not do the songs justice. When “Humble waves” was first released, the album was met by mixed reviews, something that surprised the band. We felt that the album was at least as strong as our debut (which received a very warm reception among critics). Now it should be noted that we do not write music to appeal to critics, but we felt that something was not quite right. The more we listened to the album, the more we felt that it could sound better. First I tried to remaster the entire album with the original mixes, but that did not work either. We then decided to remove the album from iTunes and Spotify to try to remix the whole works. After two to three months of hard work it began to sound like we first imagined, and I do not for second regret that we removed the original release. Some may never bother or even hear any difference from the original, but the only thing that matters to us is that we are happy and feel good about the songs and production.

All the best from Sweden

Review – Absolut Noise

“…if you enjoy great melodies and songs to listen several times in a row, you’d better pay attention: Humble ways, the second album of the band released a couple of weeks ago, is a step better than their previous one” – Absolut Noise
