The warmth of Stockholm's Cobra Studio's two-inch analogue tape setup shines through on this thoughtful collection. Poetic and crammed with narrative intent, clever lyrics evoke a spirit of international travel long gone. "Waxholm Hotel" and "Already done" are superb examples of this artful storytelling at work. Patrick Derivaz, whose credits include John Cale and Television, renews a longstanding acquaintance with one time NY resident Wahlström, delivering a sensitive mix that compliments some excellent guitar work from Dream Syndicate's Jason Victor.
Subtle, clever, a little morose; this is a fine album.
