Acclaimed Norweigan singer/songwriter St. Thomas has holed up "deep down in a valley in Valdres" to work on his fourth record. Joining him are drummer Karim Sayed and bassist/producer Robert Jønnum. He hopes to be done sometime in October for a January release.

David has updated the Ariel Kill Him web diary on his homepage with a list of excuses why you haven't heard from him for awhile. He also details the latest going-ons for AKH and his other band Leiah. Turns out he just finished a new 6-track EP at his home studio and will turning it over to Kasual Records sometime next week for release. No dates yet, but he says the artwork and stuff is done, so I would figure we'll see it by the end of the year. Mikael? Johannes? Can I get a confirmation?
