‘The Morning After’ compilations invite us on an exhilarating musical journey through a combination of rich acoustic ballads, dazzling meditative piano pieces and jazzy minor key melodies.  Something of a fusion between folksy prettiness and a raw darker side of a mysterious beauty. Influenced by Nordic jazz, melodic down tempo compositions, songs which are both complex and simple at the same time, haunting soundscapes and raw soul-searching lyrics. Each volume becomes its own story to unfold by the listener…  
Whether you like to chill on a beach to get away from your stressed life, moonwalk with Thom Yorke and Kings of Convenience, watch a sunrise with Feist and Ane Brun or simply listen to a soulful improvisations by Nils Frahm...These complilations will always leave a delicious aftertaste in your heart and soul.

Enjoy the beautiful and highly rewarding journey when your body and mind reach complete harmony…

The Morning After #25

With each trip around the Sun, a fresh chapter unfolds in "The Morning After" saga. It's my personal musical diary, where melancholic melodies of jazz, indie, folk, and downtempo flow like a gentle sigh. A sanctuary from the club's thumping pulse, each song carries a story, an echo of emotion. Some float free, whimsical and light, while others hold the weight of significance. This annual ritual, I suspect, will be my lifelong companion, a soundtrack to the ever-turning seasons of my soul.
