now from germany
Today Bus Stop Dreams release the album “Don’t Forget to Breathe”. And yes, it’s also my own album debut, even if it’s not the first album my colleagues in the band have appeared on. My colleagues are my duo partner Lasse Thomasson and also part time members like Jan Johansen, Sonja Hewer, Ulla Wrethagen, Pär Enqvist among others. I won’t scream any superlatives about the songs but just state that I’m immensely proud over this album that breathes soft classic rock with country vibes, but where there’s also room for beautiful pop melodies and dystopic group cuddles. Here are two songs with lead vocals by German singer Sonja Hewer. The album art was created by the artist Linnea Strid.

I suppose naming your band Standing Ovation could be considered more than a little pretentious. What if you played your music and nobody gave you one?
