Unlike the more piecemeal compilation of 'Growing Green', this new record was recorded in his remote village home in southern Finland over a period of 3-4 months around Summer 2005. a far more focused and coherent album, whose scope is no less diverse / ambitious. Will appeal to fans of Smog, Syd Barrett, Nick Drake and Robert Wyatt, amongst others. Powerfully written and beautifully played, the songs reveal a uniquely talented artist in increasingly assured control of his craft. Imbued with a sense of wisdom and character rather than any kind of 'clever' showiness, it is a warm, witty, intimate and deeply charming album that should see him recognized as a contemporary of the likes of Adem, King Creosote and Iron & Wine.
