Jonas Lindberg & The Other Side - Time Frames (CD)

Fakta Swedish progressive rock-outfit Jonas Lindberg & The Other Side announce the upcoming release of their long awaited new studio album Time Frames.

Time Frames is due to come out almost four years after the critically acclaimed Miles From Nowhere, which garnered widespread praise and was the pick for Breakthrough of the Year at the 2022 Prog Report Awards.

Jonas Lindberg has this to say about the long(ish) wait – circumstances regarding which are reflected in the album title:
"Time Frames is referring to the album being made through lots of mini deadlines. Sort of like, the guitars were recorded during this time frame and the mixes had to be finished within that time frame. The last album was made during the pandemic when we all had a lot of time on our hands, this time around it had to be done while juggling all these other things too", says Jonas Lindberg.

The record sees Lindberg once again handling many of the instruments and vocals himself, albeit with notable contributions from returning members Jonas Sundqvist (vocals), Jenny Storm (vocals), Calle Stålenbring (guitars), Nicklas Thelin (guitars), Jonathan Lundberg (drums), Maria Olsson (percussion) and Joel Lindberg (guitars).

"On this one I decided from the beginning of the sessions to play most of the instruments on the backing tracks myself. The idea was: If I can play it, I will play it. But I left a lot of stuff that I knew the others would do a lot better than me and gave it to them (haha)", Lindberg comments.
"That's the beauty of having other people involved in the music, it just sounds better and more alive. They come up with stuff that I would never have thought of!"

The new album dives head-first into that unmistakable "Other Side"-sound. Mini-epic "End Of The Road" paves the way for six other tracks which together makes for quite the progressive voyage. The anthemic "Faces Of Stone" and exhilarating instrumental "Gruvan" have been selected as singles ahead of the album's release. The first one being released on September 12 followed by the other on October 10.

Time Frames will be out on November 7th on CD and all digital platforms. There are also plans for a vinyl version which will be released at a later time.
