This is the third album by The Late Call. Johannes Mayer delves deep into his own world of sound. The songs here place their focus on the creation of expressive sonic pictures, on rhythm and on narrative texts. In that sense, the new album is sometimes more experimental than the previous two: Leaving Notes (TR 146CD) and You Already Have a Home (TR 192CD/LP). The songs often have complex structures -- they change their character, they are alive and full of little details to be discovered. What remains, however, is the love of melody found on the earlier albums, which invited comparisons to bands like Kings Of Convenience, Tunng, John Martyn or James Yorkston and M. Ward. While working on the songs it was important to the Stockholm-based songwriter to create associative and imaginative connotations in the lyrics. What results are short stories that take place in the mind's eye in conjunction with the music. Rhythm also plays an important role on the new album: Songs like the opener "Wandering Through an Empty Field," the Robert Smith-esque "Forest Fire" or the energetic "Heavy Heart," show just what he means. Also appearing on the album are live-band members Ylva Ceder, Simon Ståhlhamre and Patric Thorman, as well as Sarah Nyberg Pergament (Action Biker) and Moussa Fadera (The Amazing). Once again, the album was recorded and co-produced by John Roger Olsson.
