This Swede is a fantastic performer. Creative, refined and imaginative. Completely convincing live too (as we have known since he shared an ABBox with Josh Ritter). He can do it in Swedish, in English, with strings, jazzy, as crooner or rocking out, even together with none less than Bonnie Prince Billy, Mercury Rev, Calexico... and has been doing so 16 CDs long already.
Nicolai Dunger is a singer-songwriter sorcerer who enchants with his irresistible compositions and presence. What’s more, he does so with more than sufficient subtle humour, in CD titles like 'Here's My Song. You Can Have It. I Don't Want It Anymore. Yours Forever.', for instance. Or a 56 second long piece of 'Razzia' now on his latest, sparkling CD 'Play'! Instrumental! 'Play' is again bursting with exquisitely sung pieces too, with the likes of Nina - Cardigans - Persson, and is out here on the fresh Fargo label.
