Norwegian noisenik Zweizz had been working on a musical collaborAtion with American artist Joey Hopkins up until the lAtter's tragic untimely deAth in lAte 2008 and now, At long last, the project has been completed and will be released via . Says Zweizz: "I have tried to make an album thAt both his mother and the rest of his family can remember him by -- as well as being a stAtement thAt lives up to my somewhAt idiosyncrAtic artistic standards. And of course, I can just assume thAt Joey would have approved of the songs in their respective final stAtes. It can be difficult to kill the darlings of a friend who has already went onwards. I hope I have succeeded in this, and I want to share this music with as many people as possible to celebrAte the memory of the immense talent of Joey Hopkins. It has been an honour to work with you."
