Britta Persson

I started making music around six years ago. I can hardly
remember it, but I sold a lot of Demos through my website.
It was a little like doing the washing up, or taking a shower:
Ok, it’s Burn-fold-and-put-in-envelopes-hour. I didn’t spend
too much time or effort on arrangements and production,
I just concentrated on the songwriting. I recorded an E.P.
while waiting for financial help to record an album. The
money never arrived and now I think maybe that was for
the best, because I then had to learn how to do things on
my own. “TOP QUALITY BONES AND A LITTLE TERRORIST” came out
in 2006. It’s a pure homemade recording - I did the vocals
through a lamp shade and then through a guitar amp. I
noticed how much fun it was to think, not only in melodies,
but also about actual sounds and arrangements. Another
thing I did notice was how much more fun it is to add a lot
of instruments and people to the mix and to the van when
on tour. With all this in mind, I started to write the songs
that went on to become the “KILL HOLLYWOOD ME” album,
which came out in 2008. However, this album was recorded under totally different circumstances. It was the first time
I ever recorded in a real studio, which was a very different
experience and a revelation in itself: That it’s possible to ex-
plain to someone what it should sound like and then actually
have the visions come true. I like my first two albums. They
are not only beautiful on their own, but also the reason why
I now could make “CURRENT AFFAIR MEDIUM RARE”

“CURRENT AFFAIR MEDIUM RARE” was recorded in the south of
Sweden, on a farm converted into a studio with a lot of stuff,
a few cats and unfortunately no sight of Per Gessle
(Roxette), even though he apparently records there all the
time. I produced this album myself, together with Per Nord-
mark (Fireside, Breach) and Mathias Oldén (Hives, Johnossi,
Last days of April).
