I was listening to KEXP in Seattle the other day, and the most beautiful song started playing. I thought that Jeff Buckley had risen from his grave. As the song ended, the DJ said it was Nicolai Dunger from Sweden. I was intrigued. The soaring vocals were so beautiful, along with the simple and gorgeous guitar backing. The song I heard was White Wild Horses (the little snippet of music on Amazon doesn't even include the amazing vocals on this song). I bought the album just to hear this song, and the rest of the album is great too!
I would highly recommend this to anyone who appreciates powerful vocals and beautiful melodies. I hope he tours soon and comes to Seattle!!

I bought this album when I visited Sweden in March 2004. I'm a big fan of Swedish groups, and I loved "Soul Rush" and "Tranquil Isolation." For me this was the album of 2004, and I still listen to it often. He has a wonderful voice, and is a surprisingly talented lyricist considering English is his second language (then again the Swedes often speak better English than Americans or British). It's beautiful music, beautiful words, everything about this album is beautiful!

I found this CD in the dollar bin at my local record store, listened to it and bought it. It is a great album. Nicolai Dunger's voice reminds me of Citizen Cope or Dan Auerbach but the heartfelt songs are more similar to Rufus Wainwright with orchestra touches. The cover art is pure Scott Walker. For a penny, you can't go wrong.
