It's been a long journey from start to finish with this album. There's a lot to say about it, but I think my liner notes sums it up pretty well:

"Life changes. Feelings change. Music changes. Sometimes, you reach a turning point of some kind. Whenever this happens, the story of your life depends on where you begin and end the chapters. Are things changing for the better or for the worse, or both, or neither? We might not know until we see everything in retrospect, and even then we might not be quite sure. But in the end, these turning points define our stories.

"Recorded in just one day this music tries to catch an emotion that was fleeting in the air. It came about both with ease and through struggle. At the end we're left with fragments of all the feelings, thoughts and experiences it's given us, and after a while it becomes a memory.

"Thank you Carl, Niklas and Daniel; this record could not have happened without you, of course! Also thank you to Linn, Niclas and Klaus; you made it sound beautiful. And thank you Fabian and Jonas; you made it look stunning. And Stephan at Prophone, thank you for your invaluable help. Last, but not least, I can't do anything without my family: Elin, William, Elvira and Alva."
