    Future-Proof Your Music Career: Why Newsletters Beat the Algorithm

    Streaming pays pennies. Social platforms hide your posts. But a newsletter puts you in direct contact with the fans who care most — and can turn followers into steady income. Join me for a 30-minute live session on how musicians can use newsletters to build deeper connections, own their audience, and create sustainable revenue. You’ll leave with practical tips, case studies, and tools to get started right away.

    Falgren & Friends Festival Night coming up!

    8 months ago

    I am very much looking forward to this year’s festival on September 13th at Grønnegades Kulturcenter in my hometown of Næstved, Denmark.

    To celebrate, I will release the first single from my upcoming album Turkis on September 12th on all streaming platforms. But you can already listen to it now if you have signed up to my artist profile on Sleeve 😊

    As a special treat for the audience, you will also be able to buy the new album on CD and LP. The album will be officially released on June 26th, 2026.

    I will be performing a selection of the new songs from the album with my very own quintet, featuring some of the best musicians in Scandinavia: Heine Hansen (piano), Anders Holm (drums), Eliel Lazo (percussion), and Morten Lundsby (bass).

    This evening you can also meet artists from Togo, Ghana, Cuba, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Denmark.
    I’m looking forward to an evening filled with love, charisma, and music straight from my heart.

    The amazing Roosmarijn from Holland will be performing

    Also you can experience Alain Apaloo with his great band playing groovy afrojazz

    The Scarcity No Algorithm Can Create

    8 months ago

    Hi all,

    It’s still quiet in the shops of Copenhagen this Monday. The last big festivals are fading into the background, and this coming week the city will buzz again. I’ve been thinking a lot about the changes happening right now: the saturation of content, the way AI is suddenly everywhere. Where does the human fit in the loop? What happens to music? Are we looking at a completely new category of art?

    As someone who loves electronic music, I’ve always been drawn to Stockhausen’s vision — embracing every tone and texture, reflecting the complexity of the post-war world, where nothing is black and white. I know the frustration of the limits of an instrument. I felt it playing the violin — such a delicate, beautiful thing. I still love hearing a true maestro play it. But as a teenager, I needed something more intuitive, more open. Electronic music felt like a blank slate. Not weighed down by centuries of rules about what is “right” to play or compose. That freedom was everything.

    My duo with Henrik Marstal recomposition of Gustav Mahler, 'The Ambient Mahler Remixes', with Filharmonia im. Mieczysława Karłowicza w Szczecinie in Szczecin, Poland.

    I was also lucky to meet the legendary Else Marie Pade through Henrik Marstal while she was still alive. Such a huge inspiration. Fearless, curious — imagine she went straight to Stockhausen and Pierre Schaeffer, who were in the middle of their great debate about the sound of the new world: electronic music vs. musique concrète. Some describe it as a war, nothing less. And there she was, the quirky, joyful Dane, the first to combine the two — something that was seen almost as a crime at the time, but which foresaw the future we live in now, where everything is a mix of samples and synths and acoustic recordings. Henrik Marstal introduced her to me and is now writing a huge book about her, he is now also on Sleeve btw, I recommend you follow him for his beautiful ambient music and deep musical knowledge: Here.

    Why tell this story? Because when technology changes, so does art. And I’m curious about what will rise from this moment. So far, Holly Herndon is one of the best examples I’ve seen of using AI creatively. But we’re also at a point where it’s easier than ever to be lazy. Which means we have to be more human than ever — to know ourselves, our taste, our intentions, and to make sure AI doesn’t take over our creative voice. Those who can channel that drive will be the ones to thrive in this new world.

    Holly Herndon’s Frontier is built almost entirely from samples of her own voice, layered and processed into a choral, otherworldly soundscape. She trained an AI “vocal clone” called Spawn on her voice, then used it to create harmonies and textures that feel both human and alien — blurring the line between singer and machine.

    And then there’s the thing that can’t be replaced. Most of the musicians on Sleeve are out there playing concerts, moving people, meeting people, giving sound to emotions that can’t be expressed otherwise. I believe that presence — the genuine, in-the-room connection — will become more scarce, and more valuable than ever.

    Speaking of presence… we’re launching a new livestreaming feature on Sleeve. To celebrate, I’m hosting a live webinar: Why Newsletters Can Future-Proof Musicians. I’ll also be showing what our livestream format can do, and (hopefully) sparking a bit of inspiration. I’ll share why I think building a newsletter might be the most underrated career move an artist can make right now.

    Join me on Tuesday, August 19th at 20:30 CET — timed so both European and US friends can tune in. If you have questions or specific topics you want me to cover, send them my way.

    And tell me — which artist would you love to see on Sleeve? I’ll promise to try to get them ;)

    Stay tuned,

    Anna

    Back from the road, holding something special 📀

    8 months ago

    Hey there,

    We’re writing from that quiet in-between space—just back from summer break, but still echoing with the sound of our last show. It was one of those nights that makes you feel like you’re doing exactly what you’re meant to do. We played in Copenhagen with the Faroese singer Teitur. A big square in the old quarter of Vesterbro - completely packed with 2-3000 people, and you could hear a pin drop. The audience followed us through every shift. Felt very shared.

    📸

     Live with Teitur – Copenhagen, July 7th

    Now we’re back in motion.

    • We just got the master for our 10th studio album. That number feels surreal. The new record has this layered, lived-in sound— and we can't wait to share it with you.
    • We’ve got two shows coming up in Denmark, then a trip to the Faroe Islands, and after that, we’re back on tour in Germany.

    Dates and places are below if you want to come feel it live.

    A small ask, if you feel like it

    If you’ve ever been moved by our music, or just want to keep this kind of slow, human rhythm alive, there are a few ways to support what we’re building:

    → Buy the music directly here on Sleeve

    → Subscribe monthly (keeps the wheels turning for us).

    Everything goes straight back into the music—studio time, travel, paying our team. It means we get to keep doing this on our own terms, with you.

    We’d also love to hear from you.

    What would you like more of? Less of? Something you’re curious about or missing from us? Drop a comment or a note. It helps more than you think. Sometimes, even we don’t know what we need until someone else names it.

    Thanks for staying close.

    More soon.

    With thoughts,

    Girls in Airports

    Drømmer Om

    Hellere Smile Lidt er et nyt nummer, der blev skrevet og optaget i et sommerhus i Rørvig i juli 2025. Det har en lidt mere R&B-inspireret lyd end de to seneste udgivelser. Musikken kigger udad og låner meget fra sommerstemningen og den grønne natur på stedet, mens teksten modsat kigger indad.

    3rd single - Undertyk - out today!

    8 months ago

    Dear friends! TODAY the 3rd single from our upcoming album "Movements I" is out! It's called UNDERTRYK.

    I actually wanted to go on about it throughout the week, to post pre-save links and build anticipation and this and that, because I'd really like you to hear this one. But still being uplifted by the wonderful trip to Festival Dranouter last weekend followed by a short visit to Finland, it seemed like a better idea to go swimming in lakes, go walking in woods and hanging with loved ones and just yoloing around, rather than staring at screens making digital posts on the computer. And then just get up before the Finnish late-summer sun on this release-Friday to share the news. There's plenty of noise in the world anyway, to be honest...Anyway - UNDERTRYK is out!

    Built on a hypnotic pizzicato groove, it slowly gathers its layers: "Greek"-style clarinet, African percussion and wordless vocals. It sits in the final spot on the A-side marking the transition from the more circular A-side to the more angular B-side. Somehow intimate, textured, and - hopefully - quietly addictive. Undertryk!
