Ex-Hellacopters guitarist, Robert Dahlqvist, has announced a release date of October 2, 2013 for his debut solo effort, aptly named "Solo", on Despotz Records.
"After ten years with the Hellacopters and four years with Dundertaget and a variety of freelance jobs, it is now time for me to release my first solo album", said Dahlqvist. "I can, from the bottom of my heart to say, that I have never been this proud of some music I made - feels like a life's work, everything from the music to the lyrics and production".
Tracklist:
1. Jag Va Kott Och Blod
2. Det Tog En Lang Tid
3. Redo Nan Gang
4. Vi Tar Baten
5. Ingrid Isabel
6. Sneseglaren
7. Inte En Dag
8. Ta Det Kallt
9. Det E Hon
10. Ej Med Flit
11. Aker Tag
With vocals sung entirely in Swedish, "Solo" was recorded, mixed and produced by Bjorn Olsson (Union Carbide Productions, The Soundtrack of our Lives), a process that has been two years in the making.
"Songs that I've worked with for two years", added Dahlqvist. "A time that has gone up and down emotionally for me, and that is why the songs have a very personal and fragile sense of themselves. Bjorn has been extremely careful and sensitive throughout the shoot, but in no way has it been difficult to record. It cannot be anything better than to record music with a friend and be friends through the whole process, it has actually never happened before".
Dahlqvist will unveil the first track from the upcoming debut next week. Stay tuned to www.despotz.se for more information.
