Rodenkirchen who also plays "the guy" in the "Babysteps"
video. You can find that one right here

The last duet for the next dP album will be completed soon. Singing this time is Hilda Sandgren and I'm very curious and excited about what she's cooked up in her studio.
Gustaf Karlöf has finished keyboard
parts for four new songs and they sound amazing.
Singer Mona Nylin recently added
her voice to a snappy up beat song called "Oh Baby".
It turned out exactly the way I hoped and heard it in my head. Absolutely
fantastic.
On the 18th doublePark will play live at "Landet" - Telefonplan. The club night is called "acoustic evening" and will also include Amarillo Star and a few other acts.
Back from the holidays doublePark are
about to record keyboards for the next album. Once again they'll be played
by Jonas Öijvall and Gustaf Karlöf who graciously spiked "My
Destroyer" into a fullblown.....key fest?
Eight songs are finished except for said
keyboards. There will be be ten songs on there so right now five or six
are competing for the two final slots.
Bought a new guitar last week.
Been contemplating this purchase for 5 years. A vintage sunburst Les Paul
Special. It was both the cheapest one in the store and also the one I
wanted the most. Sometimes it's so easy being me.
