Andersen, Mike - Raise Your Hand

NEW VINYL LP ON CUSTOM RECORDS 2021

180 GRAM VINYL.

Mike Andersen opens up his 9th album with a bang: a self biographical song, ‘Slamming The Door’. A humorous piece about being aware of what kind of person you want to become, both in music and in life before you actually end up slamming a door you should have left open. “I’ve been writing sad songs so long, and then it struck me: The only way to survive emotionally in these turbulent times is to embrace the chaos we’ve been thrown into and accept the fact that, Yes, we all get messed up sometimes but that’s ok. We can face this together” It was out of this, that the title song ‘Raise your Hand’ was born. The sound of this song is different from the rest of the album, -being more old school with upright bass and horns, different from we’ve been accustomed to hearing from Mike and the band.
