Astrom, Kristofer

The Story Of A Heart's Decay

Kristofer Astrom is finally back as a re-invented artist after three years of silence. The new album "The Story of a Hearts Decay" is what came out of seven days in Goteborgs Radiofoniska Werkstad, combined with the thought of keeping the songs into a solid album format - to write a collection of songs where every notet were equally strong parts to the whole. When lead off track "Fine Line" kicks off were taken on a journey that sounds just as much now and here as it sounds Fleetwood Mac and Jackson Browne. First and foremost it sounds lika Kristofer Astrom in his truest form. "Ive always had songs in me, never had a writers block. To me it has always been about never to stall. Never to be to comfortable in your own writing. To find new, no matter how small, paths to follow. I really wanted every song on this record to be better than everything Ive done before. Definitely when it comes to the lyrics, but also music wise. Personally I think I got pretty close! Haha!" The album was recorded live and all involved got pretty clear guide lines to follow: No instruments or microphones manufactured after 1978 was to be used. The aim: An old sound, without sounding old. Old but new. Kristofer Astrom has, after disbanding Fireside in the nineties, released 8 studio albums, been Grammy nominated in native Sweden
