Thomas Denver Jonsson - The Lake Acts Like An Ocean (Kite)  (2007)


4/5
"In a crowded marketplace, this album stands out"
- Simon Cosyns, The Sun (UK)


"He makes much of his kinship with Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Bright Eyes
and Cat Power, but I actually find him more appealing than all of them
/.../ Americans? What do we need them for exactly?"
- Rob Fitzpatrick, The Word (UK)


"If you're a fan of The National, even Bonnie "prince" Billy or M. Ward, 
it's most likely this is something for you"
- Brain Surgery, BBC6 music (UK)





Mentioned as one of 6 important acts for the Swedish pop movement
since ABBA (together with The Hives, Cardigans, The Concretes, Robyn
and Peter, Bjorn & John
- The Times (UK)


"This is one of the best albums you'll hear in 2008"
- Jambase (US)



"Love Campaign"'s lonesome plunk of guitar and strings is 
just lovely, as is "Only For Beginners" /.../ Friends of 
The National will find a kindred soul here"
- Rob Hughes, Uncut (UK)



"Jonsson's writing stands head and shoulders above the herd"
- Rock n Reel (UK)


"Yes, Neil Young is traceable in his voice and in some of his 
melodies, but really this is the fuzzy introspection of M Ward 
and his ilk: quiet choogling in the face of a stand-offish, 
underwhelming nature."
- The Independent (UK)



"the magic it creates could happen nowhere else"
- Michael Mee, Americana UK (UK)


8/10
"Pedal steel bonanza! /.../ A low-key jewel"
- Rock Sound (UK)


7/10 
- Drowned in Sound (UK)


"..makes it tingle in the fingers of a happy music journalist. Songs like 
My Wardrobe, Only For Beginners, One of My Blessings,  You Were The Holiday 
and She Runs in Slow Motion, aims so high I must catch my breath afterwards."
- ABC Nyheter (N)



"Neil Young's more introspective spirit is also referenced in the 14 tracks, 
but it is Jonsson's Swedish fellow countryman, the director Ingmar Bergman, 
who comes most to mind in these delicate reflections on light and shade 
(The Border and Like Friends Falling in Love)"
- Joe Breen, The Irish Times (The Ticket) (IE)


On staff playlist ("The Border")
- American Songwriter Magazine (US)  Jan/Feb'08


"His best album this far" / One of the best Swedish albums 2007
- Lennart Persson, Rootsy (S) 













A Perfect Friend - A Perfect Friend  (STILLL)  (2007)

Melodica-drone made in heaven"
- De:Bug #114 July 07 (DE)


Runner of the month
BLOWUP 113 (IT)


"the album is fantastic"
- Sound Lab, ABC Radio (AU)


"The results sound almost as if Akron/Family was 
signed to Mego Records."
- Audiversity (US)



"As if Damien Jurado met a quiet Múm"
- Digg.be (BE)


"El resultade, un disco magico /.../ Casi perfecto" 
("The result, a magic cd /.../ almost perfect")
- Suburban Lab (ES)
