Thomas' debut album "Hope to her" is a lofi-country moment filled up
with the lovable bittersweet spirit of love and loss. Reaches from the 
countryrockers "First in Line", "Shades of Green" and "Mallards" over 
to the gospeltouched "Then I Kissed Her Softly", "Black and Blue" and 
"24 Seven" and further to the starkness of the a capella song "Pale" 
and the dreamlike landscape of "Jeanna". This album, released oct 14th 
2003 is expressing many nuances in deed when touching old loves, 
helping angels, sweet memories, depression & laughter, country charm 
and long nights. The opening track "First in Line" is also available in 
a stripped down duet with Rosie Thomas on First in Line EP (see below).
