Sounds Like: "Sweden's Compunctio label might not be the most well known in the world but they're already turning heads in this office. This is their first look at the 7" format and comes from the very lovely David Ahlen, worth noting too is the inclusion of a certain Rickard Javerling on glockenspiel on the first track, and it's this that might give you the best indication of what 'Wasted Breaths' sounds like. It's the kind of homely singer-songwriter music that Sweden seems to be able to master so well (hello Jose Gonzales) but done with a back-porch twist that gives it a sincerity and depth so often missing. Well worth buying, and hopefully an indication that his full length is going to be one of the highlights of 2008."/Boomkat (UK)
