Yeah, this guy is pretty awesome. Among my very favorite artists.

Marvellous G · « **Reply #106 on:** November 20, 2011, 01:12:47 PM »

Possibly the best musician, in terms of raw songwriting ability in every single song, since Dylan imo.

I've been listening to his music almost non-stop since a week or two. So amazing.

The Wild Hunt is a masterpiece.

It really is.

Heretic · « **Reply #110 on:** December 15, 2011, 07:31:01 PM »

I keep listening to it every day, almost. The songwriting is just absolutely beautiful, and Burden of Tomorrow, Love is All, and King of Spain are some of the best songs I've ever heard. The Dreamer from the EP is amazing, too.

He's really due for some new material now, maybe in 2012?

kári · « **Reply #112 on:** December 16, 2011, 01:49:13 AM »

I can only hope.

Zantera · « **Reply #113 on:** December 16, 2011, 02:02:27 AM »

Looking at the pace he's had before, I'm very hopeful about a 2012 album.
And also, with the "type" of music he plays, it's a good thing because writing an album probably won't take as long time as it would for a full time band, and I'm certain that he already has a couple of tracks probably, so when he decided to record a new album, I don't think it will take much time.

kári · « **Reply #114 on:** December 16, 2011, 02:03:29 AM »

That's true. He probably writes a lot of his songs while touring.

TheVoxyn · « **Reply #115 on:** December 16, 2011, 05:42:33 AM »

He played some new songs when I saw him earlier this year so 2012 sounds realistic.

Also, see him live if you can - it's fantastic.

Zantera · « **Reply #116 on:** December 16, 2011, 05:59:20 AM »

Already seen him live, he was fantastic indeed!

Ghost · « **Reply #117 on:** December 17, 2011, 06:12:58 AM »

Listened to The Wild Hunt and enjoyed it very much. Gonna give it a couple of more spins tomorrow.
What should I listen to next?

kári · « **Reply #118 on:** December 17, 2011, 09:14:02 AM »

Shallow Grave, his other album. And his EP Sometimes The Blues Is Just A Passing Bird.

The first EP is also very good though!

Really? I think that's probably my least favourite thing he's done! The second EP is probably the most condensed bit of brilliance he's released, imo.

Zantera · « **Reply #121 on:** December 17, 2011, 12:07:19 PM »

Well, I think the first EP is really good, but it's also my least favorite release by him.
He has a very high lowpoint though, so it's still worth checking out.

Marvellous G · « **Reply #122 on:** December 17, 2011, 12:36:06 PM »

Oh I see what you mean, sorry. Yeah it is still very good, better than most other modern folk artists' stuff for sure. I still stand by my claim that he's the most consistent artist since Dylan/Tool, and much more prolific than the latter to boot.

2Timer · « **Reply #123 on:** December 17, 2011, 07:21:14 PM »

Listening now. And I get why people would associated him with Dylan. Is he as witty lyrically as Bob is? I would think that'd be a compliment.
I'll check out more of his stuff. King of Spain was extremely catchy. Swedes have a knack for catchiness, it seems.

I'm new to him, but I've really like The Gardener.

@OP, thank you very much for the thread. I know I never would have heard of this guy on my own.

I wanna see him live! He's not touring right now though is he $:-\$

Oooooh boy, that whole EP is stunning, that track in particular. Like The Wheel has grown to be my overall favourite though!

Ghost · « **Reply #128 on:** January 12, 2012, 09:40:45 AM »

Burden Of Tomorrow is too good. The melody, the lyrics.. wow.

I've neglected that one for some time. Thought it pretty much just contained tracks from Shallow Grave.

Zantera · « **Reply #131 on:** January 13, 2012, 01:17:03 AM »

Maybe he has it confused with the first EP.

Little River is also amazing.

Yeah, the Dreamer is utterly fantastic. The EP is great.

Well...what I said pretty much

kári · « **Reply #135 on:** January 13, 2012, 02:47:34 PM »

Why would it contain tracks from Shallow Grave? It was released after The Wild Hunt...

Pretty sure you're confusing it with his first EP, which is self-titled. (like Zantera already said

)

Marvellous G · « **Reply #136 on:** January 26, 2012, 02:47:19 PM »

Yeah, I know I say this a lot, but Sometimes The Blues... is actually probably his strongest release, in terms of every single moment being perfect, for me. I also prefer his slightly less nasal singing voice on it compared to The Wild Hunt, and the overall mellower vibe.

Also, plug for my cover of 'Into The Stream,' plox check it out: https://soundcloud.com/marvellousg93/into-the-stream-cover

Zantera · « **Reply #137 on:** January 26, 2012, 02:49:46 PM »

He's performing on a Swedish TV-show tomorrow, not live or anything since it's pre-recorded.
And it wont be his own songs but a few cover-songs instead, still I am excited to see him.

Also, a new album should probably come out this year, though I've heard little to nothing about it. Oh well, gotta have high hopes!

2Timer · « **Reply #138 on:** January 26, 2012, 04:19:24 PM »

The Gardener is still my favorite from him at the moment.

kári · « **Reply #139 on:** March 27, 2012, 12:15:24 AM »

FUCK ME, I have exams then. Also can't go to the Sigur Rós shows in Amsterdam.

THIS SUCKS
