MP3: I'm Kingfisher - Willing night plants

I saw a Belted Kingfisher while out walking at Nisqually NWR yesterday, so I'm taking it as an omen that I should talk about Thomas Denver Jonsson's new project I'm Kingfisher. Not that seeing that particular type of kingfisher is all that unusual, it's just that it's rare for me to venture out somewhere I can't bring my dogs. Otherwise, I did see some beautiful herons and a Peregrine Falcon, as well as some ducks that weren't the usual mallards. But I'm no birder, unlike Thomas; I was more interested in seeing the progress of the estuary restoration at high tide. Not that you care about all that, you just want the music, right? So yeah, Thomas Denver Jonsson now operates as I'm Kingfisher and his new album "Arctic" will be officially released on October 18 via Playground Music. "Willing night plants" is both the opening tune and lead single and, as you will hear, doesn't stray from Thomas' roots in rootsy music. Same soft melancholy, same folksy jangle, same gentle quaver... all in all, very friendly and familiar. The lack of drums is interesting though, as it allows the acoustic strumming to take on a much more prominent role. The rest of the record builds from here, eventually arriving at a much quieter finish. What happens between, well, wait for the album to find out.
