DAN SWANÖ Offers Update On SECOND SKY Project

December 25, 2006

Swedish multi-instrumentalist/producer Dan Swanö's SECOND SKY, a sequel of sorts to his UNICORN project, has finished recording two new tracks, entitled "Always Tomorrow" and "The Way".

Commented Dan: It feels nice to record some stuff for this magnificient album again. The tracks sound amazing with some muscular bass added to them and it feels like this album will end up a lot harder than I expected. Still very pomp but with a bit more dirt under the nails than I thought! Amazing!! We have another session booked for early January 2007 where we expect to nail at least three songs. I'm soooo excited!!!!"

Regarding his songwriting/recording approach to SECOND SKY, Dan stated, "The thing about the SECOND SKY album is that there is a lot at stake, more from a psychological point. It is for me, in many ways, the first album I ever make. These songs are 100% from the heart and there are no compromises made whatsoever. Every line of lyrics must be perfect in so many ways and mean so much for me to fit the song...and I have re-written one of the lyrics three times already... Some days I believe this album will never be finished. It's like an old friend that I need by my side to stay sane. Something that can never be finished because it is 99% chance that it won't be all that I expect it to be. Other days I work with it and feel.... 'Hey, it's gonna be perfect. Don't be a pussy, just finish the goddamn thing.' Then there is the sound aspect. Find the perfect sound for all the instruments, the ultimate grand piano sampling library etc. etc. But we will start doing the bass soon and I will also start doing the backing vocals for the songs where the lyrics feel great..."

SECOND SKY's album is tentatively scheduled for release in 2007-2008.
