Listen

Mats Karpestam

Where the
Anthems
Used to Play

Five songs about absence, silence and the parts of ourselves we lose along the way.

Hear the sofa recordings
A green sofa beneath four guitars, with an acoustic guitar left on the cushions
Recorded live in the room where the songs began.

One voice. One guitar. One live take. No arrangement to hide behind.
