Sebastian Waldejer released his first full-length album "Rise of the urban child" in august 2009 to critical acclaim. This young artist from the west-coast of Norway has an interesting and wide range of musicality in his songs, though he is often referred to as an indie-pop artist. Waldejer has toured and done showcases with and without his 3-piece band in countries including Norway, Germany, UK, Ireland, US (Nyc), Italy and Kazakhstan(!) In october 2009 he finished a UK & Ireland tour supporting Thomas Dybdahl & The great october sound + The Handsome Furs.

New You Tube video:

Sebastian Waldejer took advantage of the long cold winter we have been experiencing this year to build a snow chair and having a cigarette sitting in it while having the whole thing recorded as a DIY video for "Ode to the farewell". The track is from Waldejers first album "Rise of the urban child" and is available through iTunes, Spotify etc



Sleepyard album available through Parasol

The new Sleepyard album Future Lines is now available through Parasol Distribution:

Title:Future Lines
Artist: Sleepyard
Label: CCAPKnirk
PS, NORWAY Norwegian dream-psych sphere-harmonizers Sleepyard return with 'Future Lines', the follow-up to their exquiste 'Easy Tensions'. This new 2009 album sees the band branching out into new orbits of sound and making a break from usual pop sensibility in their works. Legendary pianist Mike Garson (David Bowie) plays piano on four songs and this has made the material more diverse and experimental. Sonic Boom (Spacemen 3) contributes with drones and other tones. Other guest musicians such as Lukas Devita from Lithuania on old soviet keyboard to Venezuelan vocalist Yani Martinelli (Navy Blue) on vocals, making this album a true world music experiment. This makes for a fullblown psychedelic experience. A soundtrack to drift away with to faraway worlds.

Happy New Year

NEW YEAR - NEW LOCATION

It´s been a while since the last update, sorry about that. Since CCAP was founded 10 years ago the company has been run on part time basis by myself with help from a network of good friends, artists, colleagues and enthusiasts. Last year I decided to take the leap, quit the day job and dedicate all my time, experience and resources on CCAP.

These are interesting times for everyone trying to make a living in the Music Business, and I realize that it´s going to take a lot of hard work to turn the label around and find ways to earn a buck for the artists and ourselves but I am confident that we are going to succeed.

We´ll spend some time taking care of old paperwork and getting settled in our new location, but there will be exciting and interesting news soon, we´ll keep you posted.

In the mean time: Have a Happy New Year and note our new contact details
