Acclaimed soloist Jose Gonzalez's 'pre-fame' band.
After being on 'hiatus' since 2005, the band started releasing material this year. The album consists of some beautifully crafted psych-folk tracks that at times makes you think it's a little empty, before correcting yourself by appreciating its subtlety.
There's always been something extremely charming about Jose's vocals, and this record doesn't miss out on this. You almost find yourself hypnotised at points by the tenderness of the melodies ('Without You' could have lasted all day and you wouldn't have noticed). Your mind will be fixed on Jose's guitar, which although doesn't offer anything in the way of experimentation or exhilaration, intrigues nonetheless, and keeps you interested throughout.
An endearing record from the Swedish trio...it's great to have Jose back.
