This new mini album from Erik Enocksson follows on from a couple of wonderful releases from the Swedish multi-instrumentalist, writer and producer, namely the film soundtrack Farval Falkenberg and the small but perfectly formed Harsh And Stubborn That River Bends, released on 7". For this latest body of work, Enocksson pens a series of songs and quiet instrumental intervals, collectively clocking in at just under twenty-five minutes. That turns out to be a pretty ideal duration - a perfect length for sustaining the kind of croaky intimacy Enocksson specialises in, something that's particularly effective on 'The Flames', featuring the melancholic trumpet tones of Andreas Soderstrom, or the beautiful Scando-country of 'Think Of Me As The Sea'. The piano ballad 'Skinnskatteberg' finds Enocksson sounding a little like Neil Young, his distressed, Americanised accent capturing just the right level of mournfulness. Only closing track 'The Dark' comes close to breaking the eerie stillness of this record, launching into a surprisingly rollicking drum-fuelled outro in its second half.
