Sofia Talvik – Americana / Folk with Swedish Roots
Unmistakably Nordic in flavor, Sofia Talvik somehow still conforms to American interpretations of her own original music, a North Sea siren blending sparkle and melancholy, creating a special niche of folk music.
I’ve just released the song “Jonestown” as the last single from my album. As it’s the last one I wanted to make it extra special, so I added a B-side to it. It’s the album track “Summer Ended Yesterday” but in a completely different version than the one on the album. And to make it extra special I’m releasing it on Klicktrack.com so cheap it’s practically for free. Get it now!
I don’t buy music that often, especially not now that I have spotify. But I actually bought an album today, and it was bloody hard to find it. You see I saw the movie “Ghost town” a while ago and heard a song I really liked. It turned out to be Mason Jennings “Which way your heart will go” from the album “Boneclouds”. I tried his website and I tried iTunes. I’m not a fan of Amazon as nothing ever seems to be delivered when I order from them so finally through Last.fm I found a digital download site who distributed this album. It actually inspired me to write a song as I didn’t quite catch the lyrics at first and thought he sang something else which I later used in my song 🙂
I also want to share this beautiful video with you, and the music isn’t half bad either. When I find the album I just might buy it too…

When we played at the Lollapalooza last summer my band got a guided tour of the Obama office in Chicago. When they were there they each got a copy of that great red and blue poster. I was tied up in interviews after the gig and couldn’t come with them and unfortunately they didn’t grab an extra poster for me, so now I had to make my own. So can you at www.obamiconme.com
