From the very first listen, I knew that I wanted to work with this band. I just love their sound, their lyrics and the way they arrange their songs. The biggest challenge for me when mastering the album was to keep the volume at a reasonable level in the studio. I just couldn’t resist getting infected by the energetic vibe of the album (which caused me to turn up the volume all the time). Listening to the album is like going to a concert – fantastic! However, I haven’t seen them live yet, but I can’t wait to do so!” (Filip Killander, KMR Studios)
