5th studio album by Olesen-Olesen is the band's second release on its own label, Melodika, and this time the brother's Olesen have put the production responsibility in the hands of younger brother Henrik and Troels Bech (from The Poets) who is also credited as co-arranger.
The musical style of Olesen-Olesen is rather unique, although, all their albums are slightly different from one another. This is the band's so far most quiet singer / songwriter and folk rock release and this time it's also more simple with less focus on chamber pop elements. The music appears reduced to a more simple form and the lyrics are distilled to a country-side lifestyle focusing on discreet everyday details.
I find this one very enjoyable.
