So, somewhere in the region of eighteen months ago, I woke up to a barrage of texts from Henry Brill, telling me about this artist he’s seen playing in a club in Nashville that evening. I wish I could find the conversation, as the messages were basically a compendium of the most superlative superlatives going and it’s quite the way to start your day waking up to that level of positivity from a drunk, hairy man 4000 miles away.

Read MoreI really, really like a lot of Nordic music, but there are still few Nordic artists that I like as much as Bergen’s Bjarte dePresno Borthen, AKA dePresno, so I was delighted when he and Henry Brill hit it off at a writing camp a few years ago (writing the tremendous Too Fucked Up To Love You on the day they met).
