booklet – A Girl in a Rat Suit

Wow. My first EP is done. It feels strange but good. I’m writing this post with a a stomach full of celebration brownie and a feeling of immense gratitude – the creation of this EP has been very special, surprising and above all fun. Will I do it again? Yes mam. Right now I’m back in New York writing new songs for chapter two.

The EP is on iTunes for everyones convinience. On Bandcamp you can download the tracks for FREE the entire month of June starting today. Just enter 0 at checkout. You can also set your own price if you feel like it. All the money raised from downloads on Bandcamp will go directly to Danish-Indian Childcare (they clearly don’t spend their money developing fancy websites, but they rock).

Cover/booklet design by Morten Knudsen.

A massive, huge and expansive thanks to everyone involved in the project. A special thanks to Kristian Baek, Mario J. McNulty, Michael Adler Miltersen, Cristiaana Sabella, Morten Knudsen, Marie Louise Munkegaard and the people who inspired me to write these 3 songs. You know who you are.

The tracks are done and now it’s all about the wrapping. To me the process of creating the right artwork is just as important and almost equally fun as the music making. And a lot of work and a lot of meetings!

Marie Louise Munkegaard shot the session 1 pictures last week in her studio and the session 2 outdoor pictures this week on a grey and rainy Tuesday. But according to Marie Louise the cloudy weather makes your skin looks great, so all I can say is hallelujah. Everything will be transformed into cover art and booklet by my brilliant friend, designer and artist Morten Knudsen.

Who’s that girl?

My old riding boots and shiny boots of patent leather.

Yes, the drum felt slightly heavy after 3 hours in odd positions.

Carefully selected accessories.

The first finished image by Marie Louise Munkegaard. We will be using 2 more studio shots and 5-6 outdoor shots for the artwork…. Can’t wait to see what Morten comes up with.
