5.0 out of 5 stars
elliott smith's swedish twin, June 18, 2000
Evidently this man is getting tons of airplay in Europe and none here. I picked it up at the HMV at Heathrow on the way to a friend's wedding in Belfast. The liner notes mention Mercury Rev & Flaming Lips as ardent U.S. fans of this man and I can see why. His soft, stunning music is contemplative, dark, simple, quite pretty, and drenched in minor chords and gorgeous harmonies ala E. Smith. Much like Eric Matthews with less horn and more acoustic guitar, each song has a mind of its own. Haunting and slyly nefarious, skewed pop.I hope this release becomes domestically available soon. It's not just for Europe anymore!
