When I read in the promo email that Mika Häkki of Monolord, a band I don't really like, had released an album, it was reason enough to almost delete the email. Then I clicked on the link to the promo jukebox and heard the complete opposite of Monolord: fragile, acoustic songs that make the endless expanse of Sweden audible. There's nothing more to say about it. This record is at the intersection of bluegrass, Americana, and the epic expanse of Earth, performed on an acoustic guitar with minimal instrumentation. A fantastic record for by the fire with a Lagavulin or for a road trip.
