New Falconer album coming next year

Post by Balu » Sun Oct 03, 2010 3:04 pm

Few days old news, still...

Falconer official site wrote:Recording time is coming up. Most songs are written and rehearsed soon as the studio time is drawing nearer, starting to feel a bit stressed!! The album will be mixed in the end of january so I´d guess we´re up for a late spring release.

The title of the new album will be "ARMOD" and will be completely sung in swedish
except for the bonus tracks that will simply be english versions of the best (according to us) new songs.

This time we have concentrated on the traditional folk side of our music including more traditional folk songs (the majority of the material is still our own), more fiddles and flutes.Be calm, the horrid sound of accordions will firmly be left behind!!
This is a way to finally devoting an entire album to the influences and getting that out of our system so to speak and to do the thing some have asked for during 10 years.
This is not the new direction of us but just the sound of THIS album.

We are prepared for nagging about lack of speed and the full use of the swedish language and of course the cynical opinions that we lack inspiration and thus use more traditional folk songs.
I'm waiting for this.

Pretty brave move on their part. But singing in non-English doesn't necessarily turn people off (look at Rammstein, Moonsorrow and many Norwegian bands).

Should be interesting.

Well so far their songs sung in Swedish have been the weakest.
I don't have high hopes or high expectations.

Well, I'm a big Falconer fan, but the language is a bit of a turn off. I'll have to downloaded first before buying. Hopefully it'll be good.

I love their songs in swedish. I actually can sing most of Per Tyrssons Döttar I Vänge, even though I have no idea wtf I'm saying.

I think it's going to be a good album. And if it isn't, they said for now it's a one-time thing, so I'm sure they'll revert to their previous modus operandi, so no harm done. It's not like they're replacing operatic vocals with pop-like vocals (*cough* Nightwish *cough*), so I'm perfectly fine with this.
