17 August: Greetings friends! Three months into the life of our little Evert and we have been as busy as honeybees. Summertime may be downtime for some but not for us at Dag för Dag headquarters. To Norway, Emmaboda, Norway and back home again for shows, we've spent our Stockholm hours dubbing, mixing and mastering songs for a 5-song FREE digital download. Yes, you heard me right. In the mighty autumnal month of September, we're giving away 'Releases', five songs for you to enjoy whenever you so desire for the very cost of nil, nada, nothing, ingenting. Amazing but true. Four of the tracks have never before been released, only heard by those of you who've seen us live. The EP will be partnered with an out-of-this-world video made by our very own Ted Malmros. Keep tuned to this station for info on where to go for the download link. And if that's not enough, we are tuning up our engines in preparation for an October and November full of the live stage. Ready or not, here we come (and Evert too)! love sarah

Dag för Dag
As always when one is about to tell an interesting story, the first question that comes to mind is: where to begin?
Do I begin mid-Carter era when our heroes were born, both on the wings of a warm wind swooping over the wild southwestern plains. Or do I begin where the two siblings, Sarah Parthemore Snavely and Jacob Donald Snavely, are separated and left to search each for their own lives and times, where they began to wander the earth not really knowing where home was until they figured it was just nowhere and simply kept on wandering, from Missoula where time seems to fly differently than it does anywhere else, to Wisconsin where the streets are long and grey, to Honolulu, to a gritty 90’s London, to the devil knows where, to San Francisco, and we all know what goes on there.
Or do I begin where things really begin to matter, on the day when the Snavely siblings woke up to a clear but unfamiliar sky to find that they were no longer separated but sharing a one-room crow’s nest in a bourgeoise part of Stockholm in the far lands of Sweden.
I suppose that is where they actually begin, the adventures of the two reunited siblings that not too long after that strange new morning became known as Dag för Dag.
For the two wanderers with no place to call home, Sweden seemed as good a place as any to settle down for a while, buy a bicycle, fall in love, fall from grace, wake up new, pick up a guitar, steal a 4-track, take mercy on an abandoned piano, and get to work.
Now, that may all be fair and square.
But what to do when you find yourself having done all that it takes to make a strange place your home, and you sit there by your abandoned piano, clutching your stolen 4-track, and it all washes over you. The faces you have left behind and the ones you have learned to love, the scents and stenches of your past and present, the sound of an unintelligible language that no one in their right mind would ever care to understand drowning out the stinging lullabies of the kid with scraped knees and a prematurely toughened heart you once were.
What then?
You put it in songs, my dears. You make your guitar scream out the words you can’t, you let that old piano do your crying and you chew your knuckles bloody out of joy, out of desire, out of sorrow and of rage, and you do it like Dag för Dag, day by day.
For Dag för Dag, the first question that comes to mind is no longer where to begin, but where this life will take them next.
My guess is plain and simple. Far.
