invites you in and holds some dark moods and atmospheres which is perfect for some high quality time in your own company. A great late night companion! Viktor Sjöberg started recording his music around 1995 experimenting with what hip-hop might be and become, and soon using field recordings and record sampling in his ambient activities. He is a member of Jens Lekman’s live band and is currently travelling the world with him.Let’s hear what the man himself has to say about the album. "Words are kind of tricky. This might actually be one of the instances where words are redundant, but I'm on a train right now and the activities available are somewhat limited.So, here goes; Jazz. :: By letting people know that you are not part of a something, for instance a "musical movement", you are automatically letting yourself be controlled by the thing that you claim to have no connection to. In other words, a negated reference is still very much a reference and one should be aware of the fact that by making a statement such as "this is not one of those tired testosterone-fuelled free jazz records" you are inviting the connection between your work and the very thing that you are trying to avoid. Perhaps even more importantly, you are letting yourself be defined by what you're not. This all sounds quite serious. I could follow this up by writing that "this is not a manifesto", but by now we all know that saying that would kind of turn it into one. Yeah. The album that we have recorded is called "Do nothing 'til you hear from me" and it contains five variations on one musical theme. It is a jazz album and I hope that you will enjoy it" // Viktor Sjöberg

It's in the air, I know you feel that too
But take a chance on me
You won't regret it, no
One more "No" and I'll believe you
I'll walk away and I will leave you be
And that's the last time you'll say no, say no to me
It won't take me long to find another lover, but I want you
I can't spend another minute getting over loving you
If you don't ever say yeah
Let me hear you say yeah
Wanna hear you say yeah yeah yeah
Till my heart is open
Now you're gonna say yeah
Let me hear you say yeah
Wanna hear you say yeah yeah yeah
Wanna hear you say
Wanna hear you say
Wanna hear you say
Yes yes yes yes yes yes
Yes yes yes yes yes
It's just a moment go and seize it
Don't be afraid to give your heart to me
And if you do, I know that I won't let you down, no
Yeah, so hand it over, trust me with your love
I'll do anything you want me to
'Cause I can't breathe until I can see your face
Oh and I don't need time to find another lover, but I want you
I can't spend another minute getting over loving you

Wanna hear you say yeah yeah yeah
Till my heart is open

Let me hear you say yeah
Wanna hear you say yeah yeah yeah
Wanna hear you say
Wanna hear you say
Wanna hear you say
