About This Item
Vinyl LP pressing. Ambitions is Prins Thomas' sixth album and his second solo effort for Smalltown Supersound (plus two duo albums with Bjørn Torske and Bugge Wesseltoft). The eight track collection picks up from were he left off with Principe Del Norte, but the tracks are shorter, more melodic and more concise. Prins Thomas also offers up his first vocal track with lead single InchFeel A Love.Inch Or to be precise, it's based around a sample of the track InchFeel A LoveInch by one of the biggest pop-stars in Norway in the '70s and '80s, the late Alex (Naumik). InchThe sun rises, the sun sets. This collection of new songs wasn't intended as an album at first,Inch Prins Thomas explains. InchIt gathers up loose ideas sketched down on my computer or hummed into my handheld recorder in the last two years with a shifting work environment, from hotel rooms in San Francisco, backstage in Osaka, on a plane from Miami to Chicago, my garden patio, and finally my B15 Studios in Asker. The common thread was found later during overdubbing and reworking these sketches under the critical ears of tag boss Joakim Haugland. Most of the tracks were finalized in the studio at the same time as my previous collaborative album with Bugge Wesseltoft. Bugge even kindly joins in on the album's closing track.Inch
