Nice, very nice indeed! A small and very intimate in-store "concert" with Jakob Olausson at Repo Man Records shop this afternoon. And even more nice, that I live just 5 min away from there. Cheap beers and only 20 people attending - how cool is that?! Well, to me it was pure coolness to hang with my buddy Bongz and grooving with Jakob and his psyhedelic delay ... If you don't know this guy, read what Pitchfork had to say about his record:
"When De Stijl first released Jakob Olausson's debut, Moonlight Farm, on vinyl in 2006, it sent a serious ripple of astonishment throughout the folk underground. Olausson, a sugar beet farmer from Landskrona, Sweden, appeared to be particularly well situated to craft the sort of insular, deeply personalized outsider statement that has proven increasingly elusive in recent years. And true its promise, Moonlight Farm beautifully evokes the best of the acid-folk private press, yet still manages to set itself apart with the deceptive elegance of its design. Now issued on CD for the first time, the album has lost nothing of its disquieting allure, as Olausson's deliberate, unhurried performances and gnomic songs serve to ensnare the listener again and again." I also bought his work as Joshua Jug Band 5, and that is some heavily p...sssyched out stuff!
