There three songs on soundcloud are very nice and fun.  "Puzzle" stands
on its own, there's no need to understand the lyrics as the music and
the voice are involving.  A bit of an acoustic Die Toten Hosen at
times, in spirit somewhat, in the 2nd song.

On the recording side, they're very good.  Good strumming guitar
sound.  What kind of mikes are you using ?

Thanks. The only recording I'm sure of is the beginning of Pussel which I redid recently, it uses a Studio Project B1, so nothing fancy.
Some of the other guitars are likely with a Zoom H1 audio recorder. It is a bit noisy but I very much like the stereo image it provides, the noise isn't much of a problem with the kind of low dynamic recordings I do.

Microphone brands aside I think the placement of the mic makes a big difference (pointing to the 14th fret mostly) and ofcourse eq:ing, I often cut a lot of bass so the guitars don't interfere too much with other instruments.


The Jenny Lundmark tune "Vakna" that played after is pretty good also,
although the vocals could perhaps be a tad more upfront in the verses.

Yeah it's a nice tune, a local talent. Though it being there is more of an accident, I'm not really "getting" how you are supposed to use soundcloud, I thought I was just liking stuff, turns out it gets added to my playlist... I guess.
 

The 3rd song is more pop fare, as it is, so it will depend on how much
one can like known formulas.

You guys should have more listeners !

Thanks =)
 

The fourth is what I call "not much music" in the sense that the music
is there to support the lyrics and if you do not know swedish...

Oh interesting, assuming you are talking about the video. Not sure I agree as I'm very happy with how it turned out, but I see what you mean with listening to a language you don't understand, and I guess the lyrics are kind of important for it.

Regards,
Robert
