The longed-for second Thomas Denver Jonsson album is a heartbreaking
farewell, still with a revealing hope for the future, filled with
black dreams and city views. Thomas Denver Jonssonīs backing group The
September Sunrise is back on track delivering the sadness of the pale,
sleeping town with itīs surrounding freedom. This cd offers "Silver
Boy" featuring Ned Oldham of the Anomoanon, the pleading but upright
"Working Star" and the confessing lullaby of "Good Night". You will
also find the lazy rocker of "Strange Luck" the embracing, warm duet
with Nina Kinert in "Dreams at the Film Club" and the dark gospel of
"Walther". The two acoustic pieces bookending the album, presents and
sums up the spirit of this new collection of songs. "The darkness is coming
closer", still "with patience, good things will come". All in all 13
new songs forming together a very close and touching record.
"Jonsson seems to have skipped three or four albums worth
of 'artistic development' to deliver a fully-formed masterpiece."
- Jeremy Searle - Americana UK (UK)
"He's competing with the best"
- Lennart Persson, Expressen (S)


"Jonsson inhabits the same space as South san Gabriel and M Ward /.../
A talent overdue for a wider audience"
Rob Hughes - Uncut #105 (UK)
"He has released two albums that carry the same promising vibe as
Bob Dylan's early releases, where you know they're very good but what
really twists your ear is the sense of what's ahead, the possible
masterpieces lurking in his subconscious."
- Dennis Cook, Ebong (US)
