En Skugga

For Nathan, songwriting often begins with fragments: a melody, a chord progression or an unfinished lyric left to rest until something new falls into place. His earliest experiments were recorded straight onto a portable cassette recorder. That sense of a song arriving unexpectedly remains central to his writing.

Livet mellan träden gathers eleven of these stories. When the album was made, its oldest fragments reached back fourteen years; opening track Kött och blod was one of the ideas given time to grow.

The Bear Quartet is a shared reference for Nathan and Tom Skantze, who produced the album and played many of its instruments. Nathan also cites The Cure as a recurring influence. Vera Stigmar, Elias Eriksson, Anna Karin Penton and Peder Sjögren also contribute to the album.
