Work with the “Sliver & gold” started already before the summer of 2018, although some ideas have “been and skvalpat” much longer than that, according to Nicke Borg. Now, when it is time for release on 1 march, he is slightly melancholy.
– It is very nice when everything is finished, but I can also suffer a emptiness, for I like the creative process so much. But there is a plate that we are crazy happy with.
Borg wrote many of the lyrics, but this time he has focused more on the music, along with drummer Peder Carlsson.
– It is nice to be in a band. If I feel exhausted so can Dregen sit on an ocean of the stuff that he wants to get out in her poetry, ” says Borg.
“Sliver & gold” coincides with the Backyard Babies celebrating 30 years as a band is a double, ” he says. On the one hand, he sees it as a good opportunity to flaunt and celebrate.
– On the other hand, it is in many ways just another album in the ranks. It is far from any sense of final for us. When we noticed that the disc was so damn good you don’t want to, either, that the jubilee should take the focus from it.
A key for us has been that we did not spend as much in private.
everything has managed to stay together for 30 years with the same members, he finds it difficult to explain. But Nicke Borg think that many romantiserar the image of a band.
” A key for us has been that we did not spend as much in private. We have as well worn out each other just enough. Through the years we have found a nice respect, and we have to say we have found our place.
– In the 20th anniversary we thought probably not at 30, as little as I think of 40 in the day. The important thing is that the drivers, the fans, and the ability to write good music, is still there. But I have a feeling that we can hold on until we drop.
