Lindstrom Announces Debut Solo Album

As an intimate acquaintance of Hans-Peter Lindstrøm's oeuvre, you may have seen this story's headline and thought to yourself, "Wait a minute, you jokers are forgetting 2006's It's a Feedelity Affair. Didn't you already report that as his solo debut?" But no, you haven't caught us in a web of lies.

Though it was indeed of LP length, Feedelity Affair was a collection of previously released Lindstrøm 12"s. The Norwegian soundscape architect won't make his official solo full-length debut until the June 2 release of Where You Go I Go To on Feedelity/Smalltown Supersound. The LP consists of all previously unreleased material, and Lindstrøm's Smalltown Supersound labelmate Kim Hiorthøy designed the album's artwork.

(We're also not forgetting about 2005's Lindstrøm & Prins Thomas, because that wasn't a Lindstrøm solo album, now was it?)

This news comes mere days after we reported the formation of Strømland Records, Lindstrøm's new label with Smalltown Supersound founder Joakim Haugland.

Lindstrøm will give a one-off preview of Where You Go I Go To with his single SXSW performance at the Smalltown Supersound showcase. The show takes place at Austin's Thirsty Nickel on March 12, and Lindstrøm's set will consist of Where You Go from start to finish in its entirety. Then, in the next couple of months, Lindstrøm has a few others shows scattered throughout Europe.

Lindstrøm:

03-12 Austin, TX - Thirsty Nickel (Smalltown Supersound SXSW showcase)
03-22 Paris, France - TBA
04-04 Mayrhofen, Austria - Snowbombing
04-12 Kiev, Ukraine - Club XLIB
