Side Effects is an EP by the Danish singer-songwriters Mads Langer and Tim Christensen, released on July 19, 2014 through RCA and Sony Music Denmark.[1] The EP was awarded the "Danish rock album of the year",[2] while the collaboration garnered the duo a GAFFA Award for "Danish rock band of the year".[2]
Background[]
Christensen and Langer first met during the 2006 Danish Music Awards.[3] Langer opened for several of Christensen's shows in 2009, and they collaborated on the song "Say No More", which was released on Langer's that same year.[3][4]
In March 2014, it was announced that Langer and Christensen would perform together during the Grøn Koncert tour in July 2014.[5] The EP was created with these performances in mind. After an acoustic set, they were joined on stage by bassist of Carpark North and drummer . In addition to the songs from Side Effects, they played songs from the repertoires of both Christensen and Langer.[6]
Langer and Christensen wrote four new songs for the EP, and added a mashup of Langer's 2008 song "Fact-Fiction" and the 1993 hit "Silverflame" by Christensen's band Dizzy Mizz Lizzy, which was first played in the DR3 show DR3 Popper Op on February 16, 2013.[7] "Bringing Back Tomorrow" was released as a single on June 2,[8] followed by "Fact-Fiction / Silverflame".
