"i wrote some songs
about sex, sorrow
abuse,
falling
in love and
pure summery frustration.
then
i lost my way.
you and i are
the only ones left now
here, among the clouds.
come."
Anna Järvinen's debut album "Jag fick feeling" ("I Got Feeling") received a substantial amount of attention when it was released in October 2007. The follow-up "Man var bland molnen" ("One Was Among the Clouds") is produced and recorded by Gustav Ejstes (from the band Dungen), who also plays a variety of instruments on the album. Other musicians are Reine Fiske, Fredik Swahn, Johan Holmegard, Leo Svensson, Mattias Bergqvist and Anders Nygårds.
The collaboration with Dungen was initiated already on Anna’s first record where they participated on the main part of the album. Concerning the choice of Ejstes as producer, Anna says in Sonic Magazine (Sweden) that ”nobody has like Gustav, silently and immediately, understood my music. I wanted to try and leave the songs with him so he could put his mark on and in them.”
Seldom have we seen such a break-through for an artist on a small label in Sweden, as with the release of “Jag fick feeling”. Anna was nominated for the Swedish Grammy and P3 Guld prize, won the paper Stockholm City’s music prize, and was interviewed in virtually every Swedish paper. The record also got a lot of attention in Finland and Anna toured in both countries during fall 2007 and spring/summer 2008.
The first single from “Man var bland molnen” is the track “Äppelöga”, (“Apple-Eye”).
Anna played and sang in the band Granada up until 2003 when they disbanded.
