Last year, Thomas Jonsson & C-J Larsgarden formed the duo
APF and recorded their debut album. After two days of recordings
they hooked up with Belgian label STILLL who was eager to release
it. The result is an album that breathes indie, post rock and folk
elements. Sweet pop melodies, purring cats and quacking ducks are
streaming through warm layers of organs, electronics and finger
picked guitar. A 45 minute folktronic experience. From eerie folk
tunes [Strings of Hayden, TDR TDR TDR, When the temperature is rising] 
to psychedelic ambience [Jari Huotari, Welcome Aboard] and indiepop
[APF, Picture]. C-J is also active in projects such as Pacta, Ondo, 
Kaiuta, Misto and Larsgarden/Rowenta. Released worldwide june 09.
