Seek Me Out
3:32. That's about the time it takes for someone to listen to my new single, Seek Me Out. Not that I specifically aimed for a radio-friendly playing time. I guess, when you follow the dreadfully predictable formula of verse-chorus-verse-chorus-solo-chorus, it just automatically clocks in at 3:30 or so.
That being said, it's not a waste of time to listen to the song, because it doesn't take much time. All you need to do is to seek me out and seek out the song, and that's fairly easy.
This time around, I did all the work myself. Recording, mixing and mastering, all the way. At the end, I received some sharp and competent consultation from my good friend Thomas Hoel, who has a degree in sound production. Said consultation lifted the mix to new heights, so now I can sleep well at night, knowing that the song has gotten some proper attention.
For the coverart, me and my good pal Lars Ervik took the bus over the bridge to check out the only phone booth left in Tromsø, which turns out to have been labeled a piece of Cultural Heritage (!) and is therefore protected from demolition. Wow, I'd never thought I'd write that sentence in my life, but yeah, cool! We need some good, old-fashioned phones lying about. Cell phones are kind of pieces of waste anyway. More on that in a later song.
Why can't everyone just have their own phone booth instead of a cell phone? We need to get more imaginative.
Anyways, Lars did a great job and made the best out of challenging photo conditions (grey and cloudy), managing to take a photo that perfectly captured the mood of the song. Quite impressive!
The song will be out on all digital platforms in time, but it's already available on my web page:
