According to Kristianstadsbladet and The Daily Roxette, multi-talented musician and producer Christoffer Lundquist has found himself yet another project. This time he is producing an album for Loserville, a band from Hässleholm, a town in southern Sweden. Lundquist became well-known as a member of the band Brainpool and has since worked with Roxette and co-produced Per’s “Mazarin” album. The Loserville album Lundquist has been working on is the band’s second and will be released in December. Lundquist speaks to TDR about The Loserville, how he doesn’t like the way the music business works these days and about the "rock opera" the guys from Brainpool has been composing for years and is finally nearing completion.I can’t remember exactly how The Loserville and me got into contact with each other. I suppose someone knew someone… that’s how it usually works. Anyway, there was an email and a demo. So, I read and listened. And liked it. They sound real and strong. They are not stereotyped and they have joy in their performance.
I’ve been in this business for 10-11 years now and I must say that we’re in an all time low right now. The record companies don’t sign new bands. Instead, they are signing concepts and think about advertising campaigns that may suit in some sort of quartal capitalism. It’s sick.
There hasn’t been a real rock opera since The Who made ’Tommy’. We (Brainpool) though it’s about time. It’ll be a stage show and an album. The director will be Anna Novovich, a Swedish woman who has mostly worked in Copenhagen. It still takes some time to get the stage show ready, but because the songs have already been recorded, I believe the album will be in the shops next spring.
