Deportees: People are a foreign country [Vinyl LP]

Swedish singer and songwriter Jesper Lindell is ready to release his third full length album, "Before The Sun". Just like its predecessor "Twilights" (2022), "Before The Sun" was recorded and mixed at Jesper's own studio Brunnsvik Sounds, located right outside Ludvika, Dalarna. The album was produced by Björn Pettersson and Jesper Lindell and besides his touring band, we get guest appearances by Brunnsvik Horns and American folk/country star in rising Kassi<br/>Valazza.<br/>"Before The Sun" will be released by GG Records/Border on CD, LP and all<br/>digital platforms March 1, 2024.<br/>The first single taken from the album is the opening track,"One Of These Rainy Days" (release November 3, 2023), A soulful statement, claiming a musical territory previously inhabited by greats like Van Morrison, Boz Scaggs and The Band. Now there's a new kid in town and his name is Jesper Lindell!<br/>Much has happened since the release of "Twilights" in March 2022. The album was very well received in Sweden and internationally, enabling Jesper and his band to tour the album for more than a year. And they did some serious touring for sure. Since the release they don 150+ gigs back home in Scandinavia and in France, Italy, Spain, The Netherlands and the UK. The heavy touring has allowed Jesper Lindell to grow even further as vocalist and stage personality. And the<br/>band has developed into a smooth machine, delivering on top level night after night.<br/><br/>Despite the hectic schedule, Jesper Lindell also found time to record 5 songs for his solo project "Windows". The first volume was release in August 2023. God only knows when volume 2 will be recorded. Or to be more correct, only Jesper knows.<br/><br/>In the history of music, there are some strange, almost mythical places. Muscle Shoals is actually a pretty gloomy small town in Alabama, but for music fans it's a Mecca, due to all the great music recorded there. Woodstock has its charm with its artist colony and chick boutiques, but it's because of all the groundbreaking music created there that music buffs talk about Woodstock as a holy place. Bakersfield was and is a farming town with some oil findings in California. Nothing much going on there except it was the birthplace of a brand new sub-genre of country music in the 60-ties. In the future we might add Brunnsvik to the list of mythical music locations? A place with a fertile ground for timeless music, with deep roots and viability. Just like the music Jesper Lindell and his band gives us on the new album "Before The Sun". Timeless, proud and beautiful music!

Darkness: Permission to land [Gatefold / Vinyl LP]

Following the release of "Inspirations" in 2021, "More Inspirations" is the second "deep dish" serving of the influences which have fed the mighty SAXON's immensely successful 40-plus-year career.<br/><br/>Whether getting feral with THE ANIMALS' "We've Gotta Get Out Of This Place", letting loose a high-octane take on ALICE COOPER's "From The Inside", or laying down a ferocious tribute to KISS's "Detroit Rock City", "More Inspirations" is a joyous trip into the sounds which galvanized the Barnsley boys and continue to get spun on home stereos and tour buses.<br/><br/>Produced by vocalist/co-founder Biff Byford, with Seb Byford helping record the music alongside mixing engineer Jacky Lehmann, "More Inspirations" also includes enthusiastic takes on RAINBOW, ZZ TOP and CREAM, as well as a thunderous "Razamanaz" by NAZARETH, a tasty take on THE WHO's "Substitute", and a thick groove take on URIAH HEEP's "Gypsy". Whether this is your first dance with such classic songs, or you've come to see where SAXON was born, "More Inspirations" delivers the goods and then some.
