Trevligt skivtips

Per Henriksson har tagit sig tid att skriva ett litet tips on min nya platta Florida, det tackar jag för:

Skivtips: Sofia Talvik “Florida”

Sofia Talvik har länge varit en av Sveriges mest begåvade artister. Men hon har kommit en lång väg sen debuten. Där hon tidigare var lovande och charmig är nya skivan “Florida” fullgången och i internationell klass (jämför gärna med Christina Courtin) .

En del recensenter har jämfört Talvik med Frida Hyvönen och Anna Ternheim. Det är smickrande i den mening att de är artister som är genuint begåvade och gör något eget precis som Sofia Talvik. Jag skulle dock vilja hävda att Talvik har större internationell potential. Inte för att hon är mer kommersiell – snarare tvärtom. Men hennes referenser finns snarare i amerikansk country och alt rock än i svensk pop.

Att skivan heter Florida är ingen slump. Det är amerikansk country influerad rock som den var innan The Eagles sönderdominerade scenen. Det är mer Clouds och Ladies of the Canyon med Joni Mitchell än någon svensk artist som är rimliga referenser.

Album release party

Sofia Talvik gig at Södra Teatern Stockholm live new album Florida

This Monday we had a wonderful night at the fantastic venue “Södra Teatern” celebrating the release of my new album “Florida”. The place was packed with people and we had a fun gig playing many of the new songs. During the gig we had a little competition where people could win a Sofia Talvik tote if they took a picture and tagged it as me on Facebook. We got so many great pics. Here’s a few of them and we’ll appoint a winner at the end of this week.

New tees in the shop

I just printed a bunch of cool tees, tanks and totes for the new release. Making the whole thing from scratch allowed me to personally choose the models of the clothes to guarantee a nice fit. I think most band merch are pretty ugly because the models and quality of the tees the printers can offer are hideous. I’d never wear one of those thick ugly tees even if I liked the band. So I decided to actually print my merch tees myself. The tees are made of cotton and are very soft. I used the screen print method with a print I designed myself.

I decided on three different models for girls. A basic black tee with a pretty low-cut v-neck in an almost “burnt out” thin cotton, available in S but fits S-M. A grey tank top with a low-cut round neck in a slightly longer length, available in S and M. And finally a dark grey oversized tee with a wide neck that fits S-L. All girl tees comes with a light pink print.

For guys I decided on a basic cotton tee in turquoise with round neck, available in S-M, and a summery grey tank in organic cotton available in S-M. All guys tees comes with a black print.

You can also get a stylish black cotton tote with pink print in the shop.

Everyone who purchases apparel until the release, May 12th will get a free download of the “Florida” album B-side “My Bored Ol’ Heart”. Click here to go to the shop now!
