Dennis Lyxzen Embraces Punk Chaos in the Studio
Dennis pretends that he has any idea what the knobs and levers mean. Anders [Stenberg, guitar/keyboards] and Richard [Österman, guitar/keyboards] have called his bluff. The band is readying an album for fall.

Discussion
Dennis and co-producer Nille Perned discuss a bass take with Sara [Almgren, bass/vocals].
-
Synthesizers
Anders is trying out some synthesizers for over-dubs and such.
-
Tucked Away
This is the studio room where we recorded all the tracks. Andre [Sandström, percussion] was tucked away in another room with the drums to prevent leakage when we did the live takes.
-
Guitar God
Anders is the guitar genius of the band. He sometimes tours with Lykke Li and he also plays in a great band called the Deportees.
-
What the…
Dennis is wondering what the hell we are doing.
-
Lefty
Richard is doing some guitar overdubs. And yes, he is a lefty!
-
Newest Edition
Sara is the newest edition to the band. She did her first US tour back in 1995. She is a proper, old-school punk with a resume in bands such as the (International) Noise Conspiracy, the Vicious, Masshysteri and the Doughnuts.

Listening Back
Sara is just hanging out listening to tracks.
-
Constantly Changing
Dennis is trying to finish up the lyrics. Since the songs are constantly changing, rewrites are done until the last second.
-
Translation
The songs are written in Swedish and then translated to English. A lot of work, but it makes the lyrics very different from being written in English straight away.

Control View
The view from the control room. Anders is doing something amazing, surely!
