3rd solo studio album by Jens Unmack again with Danish solo artist Nikolaj Nørlund as producer. The title is an abbreviated translation of Charles Bukowski's book of poems "The Days Run Away Like Wild Horses Over the Hills".
The album marks a change of style to a more chamber pop founded music, which suits Unmack's haunting lyrics nicely, but the collection of songs are also better balanced making it a more coherent album than his predecessor Aftenland Express (2007). With this he puts him in front of the majority of Danish songwriters, and the album is his so far finest solo release, although, it failed to attract a broader public. Several of the songs seem inspired by the loss of friend, co-founder, and guitarist of Love Shop, Hilmer Hassig.
