Thomas Denver Jonsson
THE LAKE ACTS LIKE AN OCEAN
(2007 / KCD2000 / Kite Recordings) 
Out September 19th 2007 on CD (1st edition - digipack, 2nd edition - jewelcase)

Due to this album, British The Times listed Thomas as one of six acts who have taken the Swedish pop 
movement onwards since ABBA. Thomas Denver Jonsson's wide-ranged third solo album continued his indie/folk
journey combining the Americana vein with a high dose of Swedish temperament. He had previously released 
the two well-received albums 'Hope to Her' and 'Barely Touching It' featuring collaborations with Rosie
Thomas, Damien Jurado, Nina Kinert and Ned Oldham. This album, being his most original and complex material 
that far spans from solo guitar instrumentals and band oriented indie rock to dark folk tunes, quiet hymns 
and soulful Americana. The producer Carl Edlom put rich arrangements to Thomas's close songs and words and
there are duets with Jennie Stearns, Ellinor Blixt (of Bobby Baby) and Elina Johansson (Dear Euphoria). 
With this string of songs Thomas put himself closer to contemporary folk artists such as South San Gabriel, 
My Morning Jacket, M. Ward, Bright Eyes and Cat Power rather than the classical songsmiths to whom he's
 previously been compared to.
