Thomas Feiner + Anywhen – The Opiates

About the only for-hire writing I do is for David Sylvian’s SamadhiSound label. If Sylvian likes it, you can’t go far wrong. This February I spent a lot of time listening to an album by the Swedish artist Thomas Feiner, a rerelease of his entrancing pop record The Opiates, so I could write this press release about it. It’s a real grower and recommend if you like Sylvian, or Mark Hollis, or Nick Cave, or smart, baritone-sung art music. You can hear the whole thing at his site or catch a few tracks on MySpace. (Though they left out one of my faves, “Postcard“.)
