about

Sept 2022. Long time singer, guitar player, composer and DJ Tenfalk is entering a Swedish emergency room with a double size spleen, huge lymph nodes, heavy sweats, short of breath and fever. Several bigger tumors are discovered. While waiting for the body scan results Tenfalk turns to his younger brother present in the room: “You need to make a list of what we are gonna do for me if I’m dying here”.
At the top of the list was: “Open hard drives, find unfinished music (new and old demos), pay a proper music producer and make him finish and release the songs - with or without me”.
24h later the diagnosis read: Last stage mantle cell lymphoma (a rare, incurable, fast growing and aggressive type of blood cancer). Without treatment only a few weeks left on earth.

The first single from his coming debut album is a two track single with the songs 'Killing Floor' and 'Evil Destruction'.

'Killing Floor' is a love song about hardship and despair. The term killing floor is 1930's US slang for a slaughter house and here used as a metaphor for a love relationship. Hard times continue to follow us all no matter what, so the very last thing we wanna add to this constant misery is to end up on someone's killing floor.

'Evil Destruction' is also a love song (a toxic one). Sometimes toxic tastes better than sweet. Sometimes you feel good when it hurts (at least in the very moment). Sometimes you miss that stinging pain. Sometimes you’re actually willing to pay that high price of toxic love, over and over again..

Tenfalk Malmö, Sweden

Tenfalk's music is built on beats driven and rootsy origins blended with bits of kraut, dub, trip-hop and electronica to create a unique chamber pop, easily identifiable by his voice ranging from dark whispering to falsetto. Since the songs were composed during a period of 15 years, now finally being properly recorded, the title 'Greatest Hits' made perfect sense, even for a debut album. ... more
