Jakob Olausson

Swedish musician Jakob Olausson has just released a new album called "Morning and Sunrise". His first album as very folky (perhaps freak-folky) and this new one takes more of a classic rock spin on his spacey folk. It's got a very late 60's psychedelic vibe to it - full of reverb-drenched acoustic guitars in the background with twangy lead guitars occasionally dancing on top. There's a laziness to the album (in the best possible way) as well. Olausson's vocals are very reverby and lingering and some of his guitar playing is very off-the-cuff. It's a really nice album. Apparently, when he isn't making music, he is a beet farmer in rural Sweden.
