Blue Foundation

The album featured appearances from Mark Kozelek (Sun Kil Moon / Red House Painters), Erika Spring (Au Revoir Simone / Nice As Fuck), Jonas Bjerre (Mew), Sonya Kitchell, Sara Savery (aka Drop the Gun) and Findlay Brown.

Blue Foundation was founded in 2000 in Copenhagen and grew out of the musical collaboration between Tobias Wilner, aka Bichi, his brother Anders Mannov Bertram, and Kirstine Stubbe Teglbjærg.

The early sound was partially shaped around Tobias Wilner's sonic universe, compositions, and productions, as well as Kirstine Stubbe Teglbjærg's ethereal vocals and songwriting.

MC Jabber, aka Scott Martingell, left his mark on Blue Foundation's first three albums with his cryptic and fragmented poetry.

Life of a Ghost features the group's biggest hit, "Eyes on Fire," written by Tobias Wilner and Kirstine Stubbe Teglbjærg.

Blue Foundation have toured extensively around Europe, Asia and the US through the years, performing alongside bands like Efterklang, Faithless, Mew and DJ Krush.

[9] Also, the Bichi song It Begins, featured in the movie Waking Madison, by Katherine Brooks, was re-recorded and later released as a Blue Foundation version.

On 1 February 2009 Tobias Wilner established DPC Records, mainly to release Blue Foundation, Bichi and his band Ghost Society.

[10] The Blue Foundation song Watch you Sleeping, with singer songwriter Mark Kozelek (Red House Painters, Sun Kil Moon), and former member Kirstine Stubbe Teglbjærg was released as a single on DPC.

[11] Blue Foundation contributed with two songs for the soundtrack of the award-winning documentary film Tankograd, by director Boris Benjamin Bertram.

Blue Foundation also did the soundtrack for the short film Go All Day, featuring professional skateboarder Chaz Ortiz, Colin Kennedy.

[14] When Blue Foundation started out they were influenced by bands like My Bloody Valentine, Stereolab, Broadcast, Faust, DJ Krush, Friction and Can.
