Sessions, tours and guest appearances on albums for the likes of Sir George Martin, Tom The Lion, Kim Richey, Kate Havnevik and Lisa Mitchell to name a few, has made him a sought-after musician. Currently touring the world on bass for UK singer and songwriter Jamie Lawson who's album 'Jamie Lawson' was an international hit in 2015/16.

Much more interesting though is his debut album Faction from November last year, for which he coined the word 'Scanbient' to conjure up the style. "Sigur Ros, Bjork, Kings Of Convenience etc - and myself - all have this Scandinavian (and ambient) tone," he says. "There's no way of getting rid of the basics of where you're from... unless you're a fake.". A shade of Elliott Smith and a nod to Eno/Bowie instrumentals can also be detected on Faction, for which both THE WORD and Q MAGAZINE have given great write-ups and reviews.

Henrik is one to watch. Stay tuned.

Henrik Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Milde vinde bølger over land.
Verden slumrer, alt er stille.
Jeg åbner mine øjne og min forstand,
og føler mig så dejlig lille.

Jeg nyder bare at gå og skridte natten af.
I ly for trendyness og strømme.
Vinde lidt igen af det jeg gav,

og mærke liv i gamle drømme.

Måne, kun du kan se, hvad jeg tænker,
når jeg trisser rundt i natteroen,
sletter alle spor af dagens lænker,
mens Limfjorden blikker under broen.

(Guitarsolo)

Måne, kun du kan se, hvad jeg tænker,
når jeg trisser rundt i natteroen,
sletter alle spor af dagens lænker,
mens Limfjorden blikker under broen.

Tænk om vi ku´ danse byen rundt,
og rigtig mærke sjælen blive svimmel.
Bare være stjerner et sekund,
under denne mageløse himmel.

Måne, kun du kan se, hvad jeg tænker,
når jeg trisser rundt i natteroen,
sletter alle spor af dagens lænker,
mens Limfjorden blikker under broen.

Måne, kun du kan se, hvad jeg tænker,
når jeg trisser rundt i natteroen,

sletter alle spor af dagens lænker,
mens Limfjorden blikker under broen.
