I love you - it's a fever dream

"As he explores the banalities and oddities of tour, Kristian Matsson seeks answers to a bigger question: How best should he move through the landscape of his life? ... The task of laying down roots, of building a new, stable identity, seems unfathomable when the very architecture of his life is one of impermanence. Perhaps Matsson isn't up to writing about life on a tour bus; perhaps the spinning wheels below make him seasick. But he has written about life on a tour bus, and in so doing, located the love contained within".

"Even when the songs tend towards harrowing, questioning themes, I Love You. It's a Fever Dream still sounds romantic, soft, and even a little bit naïve. The deepening emotional content that Matsson laces into his familiarly sweet songwriting makes this set of songs one of his most resonant and revisitable".

"nu returnerer han til det primært akustiske - pakket pænt ind i en mildere sonisk leg. Ikke den bedste idé. For skriver Matsson bare videre på den samme gamle sang, kræver det temperament og kanter i hans spøjst pressede stemme. Ellers ender det som Dylan-tapet i baggrunden på cafeen. Og som et tilforladeligt og dygtigt album, man kan have kørende uden at blive forstyrret. Så hellere være på gyngende grund".
