I’m very excited about the new record from Swedish folk artist Tim Schmidt. The record is called YaYa River and comes out on Thanks For The Postcard on April 26. His voice (a cross between Dylan, Drake, and Jeff Buckley) is well suited to his fingerpicked guitar style. His songs are mostly unadorned acoustic guitar and voice. His English with just an ever so slight Swedish accent makes his vocals sound slightly exotic or romantic. The songs themselves are wonderfully simple; they’re often tales of love, obsession and devotion.
There is a lot more info on the two sites linked to above. You can pre-order the new record now here.
