CD

After a three year hiatus Swedish singer-songwriter Thomas Jonsson returns with Give Up Together, his sixth full-length album as I’m Kingfisher. After 2023’s acclaimed Glue, which was mostly arranged together with jazz musicians, this time around Jonsson opted for something heavier with a brilliant set of americana songs draped in quiet drums, distinct electric guitars and rich strings, while occasionally being deconstructed into stripped folk songs.

One of Sweden’s best kept secrets, I’m Kingfisher has won press accolades from the likes of NPR’s All Songs Considered, Uncut, Clash, KEXP and many more while sharing the stage with ex Kevin Morby, Courtney Marie Andrews, The Weather Station and Damien Jurado. One of the finest songwriters of the Nordic folk wave, Jonsson’s been quietly building a more than impressive catalogue, and is finally ready to step into the limelight alongside his more famous contemporaries.
