Razzia (record label that signed + raised yours truly) are once again releasing a compilation: 

This time featuring a previously unreleased HS track, I fold, that never made it into More Modern Short Stories. Not because it wasn’t good enough - it’s actually one of my favourite favourites - but because it was the song that fitted the least with the other songs. (Poor I fold is the kid at the playground with no friends.)
Read about it here, or better yet, get it here. I’ll post the lyrics here anytime soon. Also on the record: a Swedish cover of the Wannadies magnificent My Hometown, performed by my other project Säkert!

That’s when More Modern Short Stories From Hello Saferide lands in your German record shops. More modern info here.

1. Like I mentioned before, More Modern is getting a German release this summer.
2. Here’s our German home.
3. We’re doing a tour in Germany this autumn! I’ll add the dates v. soon.
4. Looking forward to it, love you, etc.

I forgot to tell you that Universal are releasing More Modern in Germany. Am v. excited. To celebrate this, Andrea and me went to Berlin and Munich to do showcases. Met a lot of v. nice people. And on Saturday: Immergut Festival! See you there, oh Germany-

“Arjeplog” is the new single.
You: Oh but Annika what is it about?
HS: It’s about the north of Sweden, about going to the city and missing the countryside, and about going to the countryside and missing the city. It’s about love, and it’s about spooning without one arm getting numb.
You: Oh but Annika will there be a video?
HS: Yes, be patient child. There will be a link for the video in the end of this post.
You: Oh and Annika, where is it filmed?
HS: We filmed it at Vittjåkk. Time spent: 5 minutes. Budget: 0 Skr. I love it.

Here it is. Enjoy, etc
