This is an original piece written by Felix Penny.

Le Petit

When my family moved from a townhouse to a farm way back in 2000, we got a beautiful, scruffy border terrier puppy and named her Winnie Peggle. For years, she would lie quietly by the window whilst I worked on songs and ideas on the piano. If she didn't like what I was working on, she'd let out a yawn, stretch her legs, and waddle off back to her bed. She was the sweetest music critic I've ever encountered.

Last week, after numerous health problems, she passed away peacefully at the grand old age of 13 and has left a huge hole in our family home. I started working on this piece a couple of weeks ago and finished it on the night she died so it seemed only appropriate to dedicate it to our much missed tiny bear. 

Hope y'all like it x

Really quick cover. Kinda messy and I might have changed some lyrics but here it is. Lovely song.

Lyrics:

Chained to the wall of our room
Yeah you chained me like a dog in our room
I thought that's how it was
I thought that we were fine
Then the day was night
You were high, you were high
While I was doomed
And dying for
With no life,
With no light.

Tied to my bed,
I was younger then, I had nothing to spend
But time on you
But it made me love,
It made me love,
It made me love more

Do what you said, the words she said - left out
Over sky where I'll soon fly
And she took the time
To believe in, to believe in
What she said...

But it made me love,
But it made me love,
But it made me love more 

Love More (Sharon Van Etten Cover)

Albert af Ekenstam - "Made of Gold"
Taken from the up coming album "Ashes". Release date 14th of Oct 2016.

Nine months have passed – have fallen like red autumn leaves to the ground –since I first heard Albert af Ekenstam’s solo material.

During this time Albert has, amongst other things, released two singles on Kning Disk (”Walking” and ”Angel Liz”), acted as a warm up act for The Posies and Bear’s Den, moved from Gothenburg to Stockholm and appeared in prestigious Swedish music magazines such as Sonic and HYMN.

And I, in my turn, have listened and listened again to his music. Over and over I’ve lost myself in his melancholy guitars, grandiose arrangements, heartfelt voice and poignant lyricism. I’ve also studied; discovered that the Estonian indie rock band Ewert and The Two Dragons included Albert’s song “Falling” on their second album ”Good Man Down” (I Love You Records, 2011) ...

What days and nights!

On the 14th of October Albert of Ekenstam’s debut album will meet its expectant audience. “Ashes” is its name and the outstanding label Kning Disk will release it. Singer/guitarist Sumie Nagano (whose self-titled album on Bella Union is a must for all who love unique voices), drummer/keyboardist/producer Filip Leyman (who, together with Albert, make up the post-rock constellation Tempel) and trumpeter Max Lindahl (known from a number of jazz bands) have all helped Albert bring it to fruition.

What a record it is!

Like Elliot Smith (rest in peace) and Damien Jurado, say, Albert is a very brave and straightforward singer- songwriter. His melodies and lyrics are like uncensored and infinitely beautiful letters – without euphemisms and false chords they let you know what’s on his mind. At the same time they’re universal – if you’ve loved and lost you can relate to them.

They also – also! – start your internal movie projector. With “Ashes” on the stereo and with eyes closed memory fragments, glowing emotions and pure dreams fly through your soul. That Filip’s production (which you’ve heard on Anna von Hausswolff’s two latest albums) is both intimate and grand at the same time makes this personal cinematic experience even more sensational.

Great art. What more can you ask for?

Albert af Ekenstam is here to stay.

I look forward to spending many years in the company of his solo material.
