It was a year ago that I reviewed Swedish singer/songwriter Tim Schmidt’s Slower Things and his wonderful new album, YaYa River retains many of the qualities that made his 2010 release so compelling – minimalist style, talented fingerpicking, and measured, nasally vocals. The twelve dark alt-country songs are spare but rich, ruminating on love and obsession among other things. Fans of Nick Drake and Bob Dylan will definitely enjoy this. Notable tracks include “Diamond Day” and “Most Peculiar of Dreams.” – Written by JFelton
