Envelope’s homepage received over 38,000 hits the day after “Stay” was aired on Good Girls Don’t – a new prime-time hit on Oprah’s
Oxygen Network in the US. Stay was one of two songs that have aired on that show. Envelope’s popularity wasn’t hurt at all when they
showed Jesper’s (drummer) picture on their homepage with the comment: “This is the drummer from Envelope. Marjorie’s (one of the
main characters) been listening to their music over and over…I think the romantic songs are making her want a husband. I, however,
wanna tie this dude up. Drummers have the sexiest forearms!”
A long-awaited new single “OPEN WINDOW” has just been recorded and will be released to radio stations in October. The Open
Window video, shot on the road leading to one of the most beautiful castles in Denmark, will be released simultaneously. It was
premiered on the Danish TV’s: TV Lorry and marks the first release of Sync or Swim Records.
Even before the release of their first album, STAY, critics unanimously hailed their music with phrases such as “very inventive”,
“catchy” “rare naturalness” and “they play and write great songs”.
The leading newspaper in Denmark named them as “…one of the two most talented bands in Denmark…”
Their first demo was praised by Gaffa (the foremost Danish Pop/Rock magazine) as “Demo of the Month” and their debut at the Spot
06 festival was an immediate success. envelope has already played at most of the radio stations in Denmark as well as on Go’ Morgen
Danmark, the equivalent of “Good Morning America” on Danish National TV earlier this year, and has been invited to venues throughout
the European continent – all before even releasing a first album.
By the spring of 1998, Christoffer had been isolating himself in his apartment for one and a half years in order to concentrate entirely
on writing songs. It was just at that time that he began the auditions that eventually led him to find Morten Ravn and Jesper Holm.
envelope was conceived in the course of that spring.
In the spring of 2001, envelope made their first tour to the US. One of two hundred - out of over 1200 (and the only Scandinavian band) -
