∟ CASSETTE

If English-Danish-Dutch musician Jens Bosteen perpetuates a certain melancholic pop song-writing tradition, inspired by Bill Callahan, The Divine Comedy or Cass Mccombs, he has never needed to imitate them or pay a tribute. Collected during the last three years (from eighteen to twenty-one years old), most of these songs were featured on his recent & beautiful debut album Second Skin (2000 records) released last autumn. Here, stripped of their studio arrangements and closer to their original emotions, these naked versions sublime Jens’ over-sensibility, like polaroids proofs of humanity – unpolished snapshots, pure and immediate, heavy with nostalgia.
