  • This Ep alone - the third in the "Silent Jens" trilogy - contains more ideas than most artists' entire careers. The abundance is astonishing.

    Getting lost in the past is a recurring theme.

    "I Saw Her In The Anti-War Demonstration" could be a sequel to " Do You Remember the Riots?", Eros' arrows again finding Jens amidst political tension.

    A Sweet Summers Night on Hammer Hill" is a nostalgic look-back on Jens' young life in his Göteborg suburb Hammarkullen. Jens uses samples from a bootleg of his unofficial gig at the Emmaboda festival camping; The sound of the small crowd cheering and shouting for their favourite Jens songs captures the drunken enthusiasm of youth.

    "A Man Walks Into A Bar" amazingly transforms a couple of bad jokes into memories of loss.
