Today Kent and I started shooting a video for Paper Heart. The video takes place outside…the only problem is that we’re in northern Sweden and it’s -22 Degrees outside! Yowser… We’re shooting this on a vintage super 8 camera and I’m surprised that it can even handle these extreme temperatures. This is a pic of the camera after we came in from the cold.

It’s a champ! The Japanese sure know how to make a camera. We’ve mostly been shooting nature stuff today. Here’s a sample of what it looks like around here.

Pretty, ehhh? Another obstacle we have to work around is the sun light. It’s only light outside for 4 hours a day…so you really have to make your time count…and take advantage of the little time it isn’t snowing. :) I have a feeling that the video is going to come out awesome and it makes it more special to us since it’s shot in our little corner of the world.

It’s that time of year when we bundle up, eats lots of holiday treats and reflect on the past year. Kent and I have been really busy in the studio this year and we’re excited about 2011. We are going to have not one, but TWO releases. The first will be February 8th with a five song EP called “Love in October II”. I have to keep the second secret for now, but it will be out sooner rather than later.

 

We are currently in Sweden shooting a music video for Paper Heart. We’re doing it a little different than what we’ve done in the past and trying a different approach. It could turn out awesome or be a huge failure…we are gambling men at heart. The video will be out in February as well. Happy Happy fun time!

 

CHICAGO: Don’t forget we have a show coming up at Double Door on Friday the 14th. Mark your calendars.

 

And finally we were lucky to meet up with our childhood friend Tobias, who played drums in our first high school band “Ambush”, to cover the song Walls by Shout Out Louds live from our living room (the room that started it all). You can watch the magic HERE.

Thanks for a great year and al the love and support. Get ready for an exciting 2011!

It’s rare to capture the birth of a song on camera, so we decided to share this with you. This is LiO writing the song on the spot.
