Jonna Lee
10 pieces, 10 bruises
Razzia Records
A melancholic album recorded by a Swede living in London? To listen to in January? It sounds too perfect to be true! This week’s weather forecast for London adheres to the myth and reads "rain, rain, rain, rain", so for people like me who enjoy matching the weather with our music choice, it's out with... actually, the weather has been like this for some time (I can hardly remember what sunshine looks like), so Jonna Lee can join Burial, Lightspeed Champion, The National and other artists I find suitable at the moment for gloomy days. Despite having some fairly fine songs on it and not sounding too much the same throughout (some songs reminds me a bit of The Cardigans in ballad mode), it's fairly safe, dull, and I don't think I'll remember it in a year's time, but "10 pieces, 10 bruises" will – in its cosiness and with its melodic slow songs - do just fine for now.
