Olausson, Jakob / Moonlight Farm

Destijl

JAKOB OLAUSSON is sugar-beet farmer in the south of Sweden, from Landskrona. Not to re-hero-ize the life of the prole, but the workday sun has had a clear influence: this is a rec made on a dime, in a dime-sized bedroom apartment, and it transcends all the limitations the scenario has taught us to expect. Moonlight Farm's ten songs comfort and unsettle, and are concerned with the classic subjects: the garbage, the flowers, one's mother, and the love of them all. Laid thick with a vague dissonance, they possess a mask of fog / haze, but the trail between writer / performer / song is not often trodden in such a deftly crystalline manner.
