Dunger, Nicolai – This Cloud is Learning – Overcoat Recordings Reviewed by Peter 2-22-2005 Swedish singer/songwriter of the folk-pop tradition playing with fellow Swedes the Soundtrack of our Lives. Promo sticker referred to this as a “lost third album.” Album is acoustic guitar-based with a bunch of different backing instruments (see track listings). Sounds range from Joni Mitchell to down-tempo Radiohead to lots of Jeff Buckley on the Vocals. Nothing immediately stood out as top-tracks, but all tracks range from good to very nice. FCC Clean 1. 3:27 – Down-tempo, guitar strumming (metallic sound) and male harmony vocals, often high and pleading. * 2. 3:23 – Mid/up starts with nice guitar and Joni Mitchell sound. Nice riff, organ, rich. * 3. 3:56 – Slow, pretty song to a father with a slight country twang. Clear solo vocals, then harmony. 4. 4:44 – (Wow, four 4s!) – Straightforward, upbeat pop, light use of piano, harmonica, etc. 5. 3:34 – Slow, sighing, airy folk-pop. * 6. 2:24 – Slow, pretty piano-driven with nicely emotional vocals. 7. 3:29 – Starts with very high vocals, suave Jason Mrazy pop. * 8. 3:08 – Upbeat, country feel with prominent, charged (but not angry) vocals. * 9. 4:00 – Mid-tempo, dark but pretty (including bird sounds in background) instrumental. At times triumphant, at times minor, very nice. 10. 4:10 – Mid-tempo, darkly-tinged. Trembling male vocals turn to harpsichord and trumpet. A few semi-false endings among the various parts. * 11. 3:16 – Down/mid, downbeat, cooing vocals over nice guitar lines – no words. 12. 1:47 – Mid-tempo, down-tempo pretty song ends early. 13. 3:32 – Listed as bonus track, but also the title track. Multi-layered, vocals have a Jeff Buckley feel. Lots going on behind the vocals. 14. 2:33 – Similar to other bonus track, but lighter. Same Jeff Buckley croning. | ||
