Some years ago we had the pleasure to have L. T. Fisk here for a small kitchen concert. We remember that it was the first nice summer day that year and not that many in the audience inside, but a very nice memory for us who were there : )
Now we have printed some t-shirts for the great artist, based on drawings by another great artist Linnéa Carlsson.
Packaging for Patrik K Book’s project Düsseldorf by Night “Images for Tape”.

Long Play (or logg play) is based on a photo of a log, reminding of a classic LP record (Long Play). The growth rings have become tracks. We love the opportunity of listening to music digitally and get access to music that we did not know existed. But it’s still something special with the act of grabbing a sleeve, picking up the vinyl record and playing it. The limitations of the format is also nice in these times of limitless access to all kind of entertainment. The print are
available in the jollygoodshop, come and have a look!
We have thought about printing drums for a long time. In the beginning the idea was to make a print of a drum kit set up ready to play. And we were looking for a drummer with the right attitude and the perfect drums. But after a while we just took our own drums and started to try out. For us the best way was to put them in a pile and we were really exited!
After some calls we got access to a rehearsal hall with a huge collection of vintage drums. We looked and picked drums from the shelves like kids in a toy store. But then we fell in love with this little kit standing by the entrance.
A tower of vintage drums in a variety of brands (which you can see on the drum lugs if you are a drum nerd like us).
Last time it was a “tote bag cover“, this time we have made a digital record cover (see above) for the EP What We Lost by The Forest and The Trees.
And can you imagine? You can download it for free. Enjoy!
Which is your favorite record?
Here is a way to show the world which music inspires you.
The music gets new visual forms and become more and more digital, but we like the tactile feeling of a gramophone record, to grab a cover and pull out a long play!
We see the print as a hybrid between two of our biggest sources of inspiration – music (LP) and nature (log). We call it simply Long Play.
Originally it was created as an alternative album cover for the delightful pop duo The Forest And The Trees and is now living its own life and has evolved into a kind of monotype. Every tote bag will be unique!
We screen print the “LP” without the title and when you decide which record title you want us to customize the bag with, we print the text using a custom-made template.
Right now it’s available with green or pink label at supermarket and signerat.
We have made an alternative cover for The Forest & The Trees!
Who wants a record cover nowadays? Well, most of our friends don’t care. So we made the cover bigger and left out the cd. Actually, it’s big enough to carry your favourite magazines or the groceries. And it contains a code to download The Forest & The Trees debut album.
