Der OPETH Sänger plant, ein Sänger/Songwriter Album aufzunehmen und sagt dazu:
"My views [regarding songwriting] have broadened a little bit. I guess when I discovered Nick Drake, that's when I really got into that whole simplistic type of music that really needs something strong strong material in order to make it come across with so little."
"I've always been wanting to do a thing like that. I've got a bunch of lovely acoustic guitars back I wanna use more. Even though OPETH could probably do an album like that, I wanna do it on my own, and in that sense, I wanna record it on my own in my house, basically. I think I can do it well. I think I can do a good album like that.
"I'd like to maybe simplify it even more [than the OPETH acoustic stuff], and have it just chords playing, and maybe some finger-picking stuff, so I could be able to perform it if I would wanna do that. So I don't want it to be lots of tracks, like overdubbing guitars with lots of melodies; I want it to be fairly simplistic so if I wanted to, I could play it live on my own... on a stool."
