The 10 original folk songs are finally being released via Waldhütte Wildbühne in 2023. A piece of tape and typed song titles, a portrait of a seated Prince Schmidt is seen on the green cover of the album filled with previously unheard tunes now found through a incredible music find found in a dusty attic space. The photo on the cover is a selfportrait snapped in the summer of 2012 in an abandoned house in south-east Sweden.
*Guests on vocals: harmonica, saxophone, clarinet, bass are also to be found. in two songs. Yes like the 2nd song Lighthouse Keeper is hypnotic but grounded folk.
