Jag tror på det goda – et requiem” GO1826 (Digital only)
Den svenske guitarist, sanger, komponist og multiinstrumentalist døde af kræft den 11. juli i år.
Siden Perry Stenbäck i maj fik at vide, at han var uhelbredelig syg, vidste han, at han ville udgive en sidste EP. Han samlede sine kræfter om de tre sange, han ville give videre.
“Sangene blev til i et kapløb med tiden”, fortæller hans kone og samarbejdspartner, trommeslageren og sangskriveren Christine Dueholm.
Perry Stenbäck, familien og kollegerne fra bandet Dekadans arbejdede intenst på musikken, og Perry nåede at godkende indspilningerne. Nu er det vigtige for familien at sende hans værk ud i verden, fortæller Christine Dueholm: “Sangene er en kærlighedserklæring til livet, og vi oplever, at han med sangene giver os styrke til at leve videre. Perry har givet så meget til så mange i livet – det her er en sidste gave”, siger hun.

Many time Award-winning musician Perry Stenbäck, who died of cancer in July, used his last strength to complete three songs that are a tribute to life, music and community
Jag tror på det goda (I believe in the good) – a requiem” GO1826 (digital only)
The Swedish guitarist, singer, composer and multi-instrumentalist died of cancer on 11 July this year.
Since Perry Stenbäck was told in May that he was terminally ill, he knew he wanted to release one last EP. He concentrated his energies on the three songs he wanted to pass on.
“The songs were created in a race against time”, says his wife and collaborator, the drummer and songwriter Christine Dueholm.
Perry Stenbäck, the family and colleagues from the band Dekadans worked intensely on the music, and Perry managed to approve the recordings. Now it is important for the family to send his work out into the world, says Christine Dueholm: “The songs are a declaration of love for life, and we experience that with the songs he gives us strength to live on. Perry has given so much to so many in life – this is a final gift”, she says.
