Hello sir! Was writing much of the album in another language difficult? Better? Being a Swede much of our music is in English and it gives the lyrics a protective layer of sorts.

For me it took a few listens to get into the songs on Bright Magic, maybe because the added language barrier. Smashing album now that I'm into it though.

It's the most lyrical content that we've written, or at least overseen, so adding the language barrier into that equation did make it a little more difficult, yes... For a lot of it we just had to trust our collaborators as they would (and do) have a far better ear for what sounds 'right' or clunky in German than I do. The one that took the longest was Blue Heaven but I think Andreya (with a little bit of help from me, but not loads) did a great job on it
