Jocke now has his own twitter account, you can follow him on @MrJHBerg
A couple of tweets from JB:
- Still dead after NYC discharge with D.Ledinsky & @RudieEdwards but it was really cool.
A reply to 'when will we get to hear the result?'
- Am not sure but hopefully a taste will come before the end of the year. More I cannot promise. #happiness

From JB:
-Today I will try and finish writing music to 2 songs which have eluded me since June.
❤ the ideas, but they fall after the bridge.
Hold your thumbs. (Swedish for 'keep your fingers crossed')

A quick post before I leave for work- from kent's twitter
Total euphoria!

Rehearsals before the new album.

A couple of tweets from Jocke this morning:
I think I wrote a magic song last night.
Was and is really fine*
But it is always difficult to decide what it is and can be in the heat of the moment.
It is in F# minor. In this key nothing has happened for a long time in the band.
*I'm waiting for confirmation on the translation on the word 'stasad' which I'm guessing to be fine
EDIT: Jocke confirmed on Twitter that he was/is really pleased with the song.

The new song is still magic.
It is... different.
It is going quickly too.
Writing it.
It is usually a really good sign.

Another from Jocke...
Longing for 'fat' studio now.
Work is pleasure.
2.5 weeks left.
'fet' (fat) is a swedish slang word used to amplify the meaning of other words, ie; fetbra, really good

Posted on kent's twitter today:
Ok.
Last rehearsal day is over.
Now the gear is packed for travel.
Everything feels really really good.
Soon begins an organised chaos in a magical place.

Sounds like they are recording in 11 hours apparently, which is incredibly exact. Exciting times!
If you've been checking kent's twitter you'll have seen a few tweets earlier today with some pictures, they are in LA:

Another tweet & picture from kent:

Good Morning L.A.
Today our session FINALLY begins.
Start with a lunch meeting 12.00
We know which song we are putting down this evening.
And in a reply to a question on twitter if they put down a song a sessions:
We do a song a day if all is going well.
Today we must soundcheck but are sure that we will nail the new album opening track tonight.
And when asked how many songs they plan to record for the album:
Probably 19

Jocke is also answering some interesting questions on his personal account as well. Some cool little bits of info there too.
A few bits of info from Jocke's twitter:
-He started writing when he was 14-15, but played the guitar for the first time when he was 17.
-When asked if he gets the melodies or the riffs first when he writes new songs, he replied: Chords and melodies come at the same time then nowadays I try to write some sketch lyrics immediately.
-If the lyrics to Dom Andra was inspired by Bob Dylan's song 'Shelter from the storm'? Have never thought about it, but listened to the album 'Blood on the tracks' at lot at that time. Something could have slipped in and stuck.
From kent's twitter:
- I asked them if the first song they record is always the first song on the album, as 999 was the first song record at the JÄIRFM sessions. No, but this time, like last, it seems to be so.
other little bits of info from tweets:
They're not recording at Ocean Way studios.
Rudie (Edwards, Jocke worked on her album a few months ago in NY) & Beatrice are recording some vocals.
A photo of '2 dudes just before take 1' was posted (I'm not on my computer so can't save and upload the photo just now), one of the 'dudes' looks like Daniel Ledinsky who worked with Rudie Edwards & Jocke. Not sure who the other guy is.

Some tweets from kent:

The working day has begun.

No message with this one, but from it I guess we can say they're recording at Conway Studios in LA.
Day 4.
3 songs recorded
Begin the 4th in an hour.
Beated heroes return to the studio.
And a couple of tweets from Jocke:
The album will be out in the spring. And it will be in Swedish.
Think we made a classic yesterday. Crazy song. "Jag är handen som håller flaggan"... (I am the hand that holds the flag"...)

Was it ever going to be in English?Ursprungligen postat av stjärnor
Eh, no, but I think the person who asked, was Danish (away to check twitter...), yip. They asked (from what I can gather, as it was Danish) "When is the new album coming out? Released in Swedish, of course"
