Jacob Faurholt has a CD of slightly gothic folk that may well appeal to lovers of the work of (definitely) Adrian Crowley & (possibly) early Bright Eyes. It's entitled 'Are you in the mood for love?' and the Nick Cave influence starts to infiltrate your mind by the second track, the dusty & sinister 'A Fish in a Bowl', all spaghetti western woo-hoos, twangy guitar splinters, snaky percussion & a lyric that really reminds me of Julian Cope's more foreboding moments. As a long-playing collection, there's more than enough satisfactory moments on this Dane's 3rd album to ensure a pleasing ride. His voice has a rich, harmoious character & the playing is tender & accomplished with enough traditional flourishes to appease the old guard whilst including possibly the most jarring Jandek like solo on 'Rusty Country Cage'. Well loved in his native country, this digipak CD will serve you singer- songwriter obsessives well. (Norman Records UK)
