I first heard of this band when I happened to catch them supporting Martin Gretch on his UK tour in 2002, and was entranced by them. Their live show is not to be missed; they complement their songs with quirky little film pieces projected onto a screen behind them, and their stage manner and presence is charming. I was immediately taken with their comforting sounds. The music was soaring and uplifting, and Jonas Bjerre's distinctive vocals imprinted themselves on my mind.Imagine my surprise when I bought the album and finally had a chance to listen to the lyrics in detail. Such emotional and psychological turmoil lurks under the surface - a wonderful contrast to the music. It's like a sugar-coated candy with a sinister centre. Yum!
