Kristian Matsson moves further away from his folkier earlier records on much of his fourth album, going for americana type stadium rock in a War on Drugs or Tom Petty vein with backing vocals & big choruses.
The strong melodies and skilled songwriting are still present however, although the subject matter is often deeper & darker than we’re used to the album is mostly a major key, fun and enjoyable listen. opener ‘Fields Of Our Home’ is a cracking introduction to his widescreen new direction whereas ‘Little Nowhere Towns’ is solely backed by piano, so the mood is nicely broken up by stylistic changes. “choirs, keyboards & drums make well-judged accompaniments to his stark style”
