Album of the month on Bluesbunny!

I just got a great review in one of Sweden’s biggest morning papers, and the rest of the world is not late on following the trend. TOANWTS is appointed the prestigious title of “Album of the Month” on renowned music blog Bluesbunny

[quote] Perhaps her most interesting artistic choice however is the sound of the album this time around. Country flavoured sonic touches abound on many of the songs thus giving the album an underlying focus and, perhaps, an indication of her true intent. [/quote]

Recension av TOANWTS i GP

[quote] Duetten med Pontus Borg, 7 miles wide, hade i en rättvis värld blivit lika stor som Winnerbäcks Om du lämnade mig nu och avslutande Nothing quite so gentle med vackert blås och Soundtrack-Martin vid pianot imponerar från start till mål. [/quote]

Fan reviews of TOANWTS

Just had to share some of these great fan reviews I’ve received for the new album. After all the real critics are the listeners:

[quote] Sofia Talvik’s mastery of the acoustic has never been more evident than in her latest album – The Owls Are Not What They Seem. Her fifth album, in which Sofia has ‘gone back to basics’ is a stunning display of her vocal prowess and lyrical talent… unpretentious, yet powerfully moving. I have had TOANWTS for only a few days now, but have listened to it probably a dozen times now… and each time is even better than the last. Thank you, Sofia! [/quote]

[quote] You’ve really outdone yourself on the sound on this album Sofia. I always expect great music from you, but this has gone way past those expectations. [/quote]

New review of TOANWTS

[quote]”Talvik’s gentle acoustic songs make up for any loss of sonic power and rhythmic force with a focus on the sweetly nuanced basics: endearing melodies and tasteful arrangements”[/quote]

I’m Kool Kat of the week!

Atlanta Retro appoints Sofia Talvik Kool Kat of the week!

[quote]

Listening to her music, an otherworldly edge, surprising twists and powerful, haunting vocals make her much more than just another pretty folk-pop-acoustic performer. In other words, in Scandinavian music terms that Americans can understand, she’s no ABBA retread and not quite the enigmatic eccentric of Bjork, but carving her own unique and welcome niche in the music world.
