This past winter, Mr. Suitcase began putting together what he’d planned to be a mixtape for his friends. But instead of just mixing songs in a set, He suddenly found him self weaving the tracks together, inspired by collage aesthetics and ambient pop. He began adding new elements where he thought the originals were lacking. People began dropping by the studio to record vocals and instruments over the loops and fragments he’d extracted and, well… Soon enough, the result had become more than just the generic mixtape.
“Frauds” is neither mixtape nor album. It’s neither remix nor mash-up. It’s something in between. “Frauds” is built from elements ranging from Prince to Nicolas Makelberge, from Ashanti to Zongamin, layered with field recordings and finalized by the recordings in Roth Händle Studio where the album… Sorry, the fraud was completed.
“Frauds” features guest appearances by Mattias Olsson, Henric Larsson, Christian Fernandes, Gösta Fråd and Gryqllo.
