About
◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦nówfrago is the music of Matthias Gunsch, based in Berne, Switzerland.
I recorded my debut `In Love With The Blackbird` mainly in my bed- and others living-rooms, where I played most of the instruments.
The drums I recorded in my home-studio.
Its cool to look back and listen to those innocent songs ♡` caused me quite some tension, I must admit. It was recorded again in my home-studio, played by me and my bandmates and mixed by Olaf O.P.A.L (the Notwist). I enjoyed getting to know him.
The 2nd album `Now In Common
I think, I just wanted too much and somehow lost myself in transformation (or wherever).
In between time, four singles had been released.
For my new record, I built my own studio (almost true).
Its called Livbåt Studio and and the name tells of my pathetic streak. by the fantastic author Gabriel García Marquez.
But why Livbåt?
I thought choosing a norvegian name was a good thing plus it also gives home to poor nówfrago;-)
The new album will be released in winter 2024.
Until nów, I have released 8 singles from the upcoming album.

By the way: nówfrago derives from naufrago and was inspired by the book Relato De Un Náufrago
I know, nothing really to do with me but I liked the sound of the word.
If you want to get to know more (pathetic and made-up stories),
please write me a note (which I really really appreciate).◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦
