i've been hearing this guy's single for a while now and i have to say that it's absolutely beautiful. he has one of the nicest voices that i've ever heard and his guitar playing is immaculate. i was just wondering if anybody here has his album and if the songs are as good as heartbeats is. i'll probably get it anyway even if they aren't, but it'd still be nice to know. thanks in advance, guys.

He is pretty big in Scandinavia if that is any indication. I have only heard Crosses which is a nice song, but if all praising reviews in Denmark are to be believed then it's a solid purchase :)

I've only heard Heartbeats. It's one of the most nakedly beautiful bits of music I've ever heard. I know it's only like one guitar part for the whole song, but it's so, so, so gorgeous.

It's all as good as Heartbeats.  My only complaint is that the whole album is really mellow so it's kind of hard to listen to for a long time without losing focus

But if you like Heartbeats, you'll like the entire album

Now that I come to think about it, isn't Heartbeats his cover of The Knife or something?
