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.
So why am I closing my shop? I’m about to head over to the U.S to start to record a new album.
I’m leaving in May and will be there for about three months. I’m leaving all my albums at home since I don’t want to drag them with, so I will not be able to ship any signed album to you guys.
The shop closes 26th April.
I’ll keep you informed on when I’ll be opening the shop again.
On the Lollapalooza tour I blogged on Aftonbladet.se but this time I thought I’d give all my non-swedish friends and fans an opportunity to follow me on tour, so my tour blog this time will be in english here on my own website.
Flight trip
I’ve just arrived in Canada for Canadian Music week and am exploiting the free wifi on the Fairmont to write this. The trip yesterday was about 14 hours long and we were very happy to have some pizza and get some rest on an inflatable bed at my friend Gary Taxali’s house here in Toronto when we arrived. Gary is the most talented artist, he designed the stunning coverart for Aimee Mann’s latest album and when he heard we were coming here he invited us to stay with him. Check out Gary’s work here: http://www.garytaxali.com

Today’s mission is to check out Toronto, pick up some lotion (I realized I was allergic to the one I brought from home) and to check out my favourite store “Forever 21”.

I just got a new shipment of the album “Street of Dreams”. I’ve signed 50 CD’s and put them up in my private online store.
I got all of my album releases online and it’s the only place where you will find them that cheap AND signed. Get your copy today!
PS. Did you know that you can also buy signed posters in the shop? DS.
A big thank you to all that has competed for the collection of 13 albums by Swedish artists! It’s been a delight to read your motivations and we have chosen the winners. Congratulations to:
Jerry (US) – you have won the first prize, 13 wonderful albums (I’m really quite jealous myself!) Niels (Germany) – you have won a signed copy of “Jonestown” P (Austria) – you have won a signed copy of “Jonestown”
“As summers pass” is the first single released from my third album ‘Jonestown’
With “Jonestown” I’ve further evolved my sound, joining forces with respected artist and producer Tobias Fröberg, who has toured with José Gonzales and produced the artist Peter Morén from “Peter, Bjorn and John”.
