4 track studio ep by Teitur follows two years after Let the Dog Drive Home. This was also released on vinyl with the title Four Songs and B-Sides with the A-side consisting of the four tracks from this release and with another additional four previously unreleased tracks on the B-side.
The music is slightly more chamber pop and piano-styled than previously heard from Teitur, who began his career as a folk singer with an acoustic guitar. The title track from his debut album Poetry & Aeroplanes is included here in an alternate version both more subdued and later much more electrified, which means: a rather progressive take on that. Best track here is the last, although track #1 became a surprising hit as it was used in a TV commercial for the Ronald McDonald House in Denmark.
All in all, it's always nice to hear new music from Teitur. This short album is, however, anything but coherent but it works nevertheless - also to reveal new sides to this very fine artist.
