Ahhh Record Store Day . Here it comes again, crashing into our lives for another year of madness. Madness for the stores that suddenly have queues outside their door before they even open. Madness for the record buying public, hurredly scurrying around over-stocked shelves, and each other, to find that one and only Pavement cassette single made of elephant tusk. Madness for us blogger-types who are inundated with news pieces, requests, constant thoughts/ideas/mild panics about how to cover the whole thing... But then we wouldn't have it any other way. Why? Because it's bloody brilliant. It's as [...]

Connect Savannah Noteworthy I'm tracking my footprints, or rather tire tracks, back towards the east coast and will be re-visiting a few of my favorite concert venues and exploring a couple of new ones along the way. So it's extra nice when Connect Savannah gives me this "welcome back" in their latest edition: Sofia Talvik's newest collection of songs, The Owls Are Not What They Seem, sounds like it could [...]

Here's the second live video of the songs from my new album TOANWTS (The Owls Are Not What They Seem). During my US tour "Drivin' & Dreaming" I'm going to record all the songs from the album and release on youtube as a live video album called "TOANWTS Acoustic Video Album". This song is called "The Garden" and was recorded at the Stavinoha's beach shack in Surfside, TX, that they let us stay at as a mini vacation to get some rest after our RV broke down in Austin, TX after SXSW. You can see and hear the ocean in [...]

We've featured The Naturals  a few times on the site and their latest offering is as fully deserving of inclusion as always. Last week the young Bristol five-piece released their AA-side, debut 73 single via the ever-brilliant Howling Owl records and have also released a new video to accompany the release. You may well remember the spellbinding lead song and video ( Finishing Moves) that we featured last month - see here if not - and Concrete Sea [...]

Innan jag börjar gotta mig i den nya fina recensionen min skiva The Owls Are Not What They Seem har fått så vill jag gärna pålysa lite tråkiga nyheter om den svenska media- och musikbranschen. Eller jag nyheter är det väl inte direkt, i alla fall inte för oss indiependent-artister som kör vårt eget race med egna skivbolag. Mitt bolag Makaki Music som jag drivit sedan 2006 är givetvis med i SOM - Svenska Oberoende Musiker. Och idag fick jag den här hemska statistiken från dem i ett mail: "Under vinterns arbete i SOM kring sammanlagningen [...]

I've just released a spanking new video for my song The Garden from my new album The Owls Are Not What They Seem. The video is filmed partly at Sloss Furnaces in Birmingham by Jonas Westin and the kaleidoscope segments are filmed by Jason Gordon in Florida. I cut and edited the video myself and Jonas did the post production. An HD version will be uploaded at a later date du to bad wifi on the tour... Enjoy!

Sofia Talvik recenseras i GP foto:Gustaf Waesterberg Duetten med Pontus Borg, 7 miles wide, hade i en rättvis värld blivit lika stor som Winnerbäcks Om du lämnade mig nu och avslutande Nothing quite so gentle med vackert blås och Soundtrack-Martin vid pianot imponerar från start till mål. skriver GP och ger TOANWTS 3 fyrar.

Just had to share some of these great fan reviews I've received for the new album. After all the real critics are the listeners: Sofia Talvik's mastery of the acoustic has never been more evident than in her latest album - The Owls Are Not What They Seem. Her fifth album, in which Sofia has 'gone back to basics' is a stunning display of her vocal prowess and lyrical talent... unpretentious, yet powerfully moving. I have had TOANWTS for only a few days now, [...]

" Talvik's gentle acoustic songs make up for any loss of sonic power and rhythmic force with a focus on the sweetly nuanced basics: endearing melodies and tasteful arrangements" Direct Current Music blog has written a review of my new album "The Owls Are Not What They Seem". Read it all here !
