Patrik Torsson / Statements of Facts


Power Shovel Audio

is a new japanese label, though mostly without japanese artists, releasing apparently excellent (from what I have heard) indie acoustic-electronic (acoustatronic? electroustic?) solo artists from abroad in Japan. Patrik Torsson from the above list is one of them, and his Statements of Facts is very very impressive with one caveat (and this may be a heavy barrier to entry for some): You have to get over the fact that he sings a whole lot like Thom Yorke. Apparently, his pervious releases on Swedish label Häpna, have been entirely instrumental, however I have yet to hear them. More about Power Shovel Audio here.
