FIRST IN LINE  (live version /w Rosie Thomas & Damien Jurado) [MP3]
THE CITY AND THE OUTSIDE WORLD
STRANGER AT EASE (acoustic version)  
24 SEVEN  (album version)



Standing in the doorway between the two albums, this acousic spinned EP 
released July 12th 2004 features a vibrant live recorded duet with Rosie 
Thomas in a stripped down version of "First in Line", and alt.folk-star
Damien Jurado is also featuring, playing harmonica. The EP also contains 
the two tracks "First in Line" and "24 seven" from the debut cd together
with the exclusive new songs "The City and The Outside World" and "Stranger 
at Ease" both carefully embellished by Fredrik Wilde´s pedal steel and
Carl Edlom´s piano. The EP is due to it's content a good introduction to 
Thomas' early music, consisting as much of Hope to Her´s lovable spirit as 
of Barely Touching It´s haunting moods of escapism. "How can you say we got 
so much in common / when you love every part of me I always hate".





 "Warm and thoughtful lo-fi country from Sweden’s best export."

"These five tracks just further my belief that 
he’s the real deal, a special artist who’s just waiting to find his 
audience."
- Jambase (US) october 2004

"He takes the fine craftsmanship of [Bob] Dylan and mixes it with 
the sly cunning wit of [Townes] Van Zandt and delivers it with [Gram]
Parson’s compassion making him a highly marketable asset"
