Painkiller review: De:Bug Magazine

Sun, 21 Sep 2008 13:31:28 +0000

Finn Johannsen, De:Bug magazine: "he writes good pop songs, sings them with a rather good pop voice and furnishes them with good pop-arrangements. in addition there are the lyrics, that are not at all pop: […] in the asylum, in prison, in faith, at war, in love, at night, at the fringes, in the head. But there are those pretty melodies on top, that accompany drones, pedal steel, cello and backwards loops. Fantastic album." Click the headline to read Finn's full review…
