Kristian describes his new record he Fumes' like this: "I set out to create a simple, dark, melancholic and beautiful Indie Pop/ Rock album with short traight to the juice' songs.

I had this the Beatles Rubber Soul era ideal. Cut the fancy sound imagery and emphasize the songs, the vocals and lyrics.

I brought in musicians for the recordings, and most of the songs are recorded live in the studio with drums and bass.

The fumes are the easy thrills that helps us make it through the day in the consumeristic circus of money and status, power and pleasure.

It's the short term happiness by quick shots of endorphines that blur how the circus is devouring humans and nature and isolate us from each other.

For me it's a very angry record, but I'm not sure everybody will hear it as such." "The Fumes" got recorded and produced by Kristian and Lars Lundholm (On Trial, Oresund Space Collective, Hanne Boel, Papir, among others) at Black Tornado Studios and Room 21 in Copenhagen.

Mastering was done by Nikolaj Vinten (Coldplay, among others). Guests on the album feature on bass Jakob Falgren (Trentemoller), on keys Jesper Bo Hansen (Glenn Hughes), Mads Beldring Hansen on drums and singer/songwriter Nana Schwartzlose as backing vocalist.
