This is the debut 4-track EP from Det Gamla Landet ("The Old Country" in the band´s native Swedish) - a remarkable band with a simple sound of banjo, guitar, melodica and the occasional drum and organ. This is melancholy at its most beautiful.

REVIEWS & MEDIA
"How could anyone not enjoy this? These guys make soundtrack music that summons the spirit of the great Ennio Morricone, but with a far more rustic edge. Their chosen sonic palette of wheezy organs, plucked banjos, elegant classical guitar picking and simple percussion is part of their charm as it lends them a unique sonic identity. It doesn't hurt that they've chosen the perfect name for the group as well".
Avi Roig, It's a Trap! (USA) www.itsatrap.com
"Simple melodies are embellished with a suggestive kind of brilliance, implying it's almost easy, making this a difficult record to explain and pigeonhole, but I do know that this is music for 2:45 AM when the last drunks have grumbled home from the bars just so they can awaken to work and hangovers. Recommended."
