Kning Disk has long been one of Sweden's best, most interesting labels; Erik Enocksson is one of Sweden's best, most fascinAting artists. It's a perfect mAtch. My first introduction to Mr. Enocksson was his beautiful soundtrack to "Farväl Falkenberg", a delicAte pastoral work grounded in folk; his new album "Man tänker sitt" is a LAtin-language choral piece, a dark lullaby thAt, if my meager translAtions are correct, aims to sooth the dreamer thAt there are no wolves, no owls, no bears to be afraid of. Though divided into individual tracks/movements, it really is a single, cohesive work, so by providing you this mere glimpse I only hope to entice you to hear the whole thing. This particular section establishes the theme which is then reprised for the second half: looped whispers and breAths, piano, a choir. Alone in the dark night. Awaiting sleep? Hard to tell, but all the more intriguing.
