sweet intro
the guitars are dancing all over with that nice clean vibe. The bass is hopping along the green prairie. The singer is sitting under an umbrella at a table floating across the skyline because its actually a table that is a flying bicycle as well. He lands with the band and then starts shrugging and rocks out the hook!. OH NO i BETTER KEEP THOSE THOUGHTS LOCKED IN!! The band is keeping it real consistent and i think you want that in this commercial style of music. so good job.

A nice song.
nice simple pop chord progression during the verses...tasteful guitar licks...good vocalist-nice melody during the verses..very pleasant to listen to. The relative minor chord in the chorus works nicely..hand claps rule in the bridge..guitar solo sits in the mix real nice...cool tune..thumbs up

I´m supposed to do so many other things:

Från Garageband:
Wow.
Really catchy from the getgo, everything is working together really nicely. The electric guitar is making this song happen, the part is awesome. The singer kind of reminds me Mitch Jagger, only he can sing. The chorus is really good, perfect volume and sound. The chord progressions are awesome. I love when the claps come in at around 2:20. The production value on this song is great. I really would be surprised if you guys aren't signed, obviously you're talented musicians, but you're also talented songwriters (an underrated quality). This is a great song, and normally I'd have some criticism, but I really can't think of any way to make this better. 5 stars. Reviewed by: thegiveahoot from Saint Clair Shores, Michigan

This mellow, catchy pop tune is boppy enough to be played on the radio, but indie enough to remain with the hipsters. That's a good thing. This band has fame written all over them. I can't wait for an album.

The vocal is very good and I liked the way he sings. The lyrics are not that bad and they do fit the music and the rhythm of it. The music is not very complicated but it still sounds good and I especially liked the violin.


Mulholland Drive:

Från Garageband:
Perfect Acoustic Chamber Pop
I always like fast, original, accurate fingerpicking. I love the close-miked, extremely dry vocal. It reminds me of Lou Reed. Is that a slight accent from somewhere besides Minnesota?

Strings and a minor four chord. This song is seriously pushing every button that I like. Achingly beautiful stereo panned violins - that passage around 1:30 is very beautiful.

The phrase "Mulholland Drive" evokes the David Lynch movie, which I really liked. What? It's over already? I wanted more! Just two verses? I'm listening again.

This song is evocative of open, starry, black skies and easy going companionship. Taking some time and hanging out on a scenic hill with a friend.

And I really can't say enough about how much I love the strings, which really get to another level right at 1:30 with that unexpected minor thing. Gorgeous. I hope you offer a free download. I will check out your whole deal. Cheers! Reviewed by: MemphisEvans from Northfield, Minnesota

Great Tune!
This is the kind of tune I could here on the car stereo with the top down crusing along the open highway,Sweet Melody flawless vocals,Great Tune!

A SONG TO FALL A SLEEP TO. NOT COZ ITS CRAP COZ ITS JUST BRILLIANT. THIS IS A VERY WELL WRITTEN TUNE. THE VOCALS HOLD A MELODY ONLY ANGLES WOULD SING...ARE YOU AN ANGEL??? VIOLINS ARE DREAMY..SOUNDS OF SILK AND SWEET CHOCOLATE.

Pretty Without the Sap
A lot of the soft quiet stuff out there gets carried away with being pretty and does not deliver on any emotional level. The dark chord shadings and sparse vocal on this tune worked quite well at avoiding that malady.
I like how the vocal allows the tune to breath, with concise lines, no oversung notes and a calmness to the delivery. The diction could use some sharpening up. Memories sounded like mammary (but it always does to me anyhow) and some lines I could not make out. Nonetheless the timbre and delivery were very good.
The vocal, being sort of a breathless type, smartly left the melody to the instruments. At first I was afraid the guitar line would get redundant but the arrangement and the chord progression worked quite nicely to keep things moving along. Bonus for the very dark chord shadings on the bridge part. It was like peaking through a hole in the fence at an old overgrown garden or something. Nice touch.
So, where does that leave us? Good delivery, neat concepts and a killer nugget within, good job dudes.

Time to kill:

Från Garageband:

Yeah "boots of leather"
Harmonica intro w/ aggressive acoustic rhythm hooks me immediately. I like the gravely vocals and immediate lyrical connection that the writer portrays. The name point keeps me lyrically in tune with the colors painted in the story line. Ok, I had to repeat and listen one more time in order to enjoy the track. It's a head "bobber." This song has Character w/ a capital "C" which keeps the listener wanting to know what the artist is saying. Very well written song, arrangement and passionate delivery. COOL! Reviewed by: VilaFishburn from Zionsville, Indiana 

Nice, very nice
I like the vocals, the are as husky as a pack a day smoker, and the backup singing compliments. The guitar and drums work together well, blending in together. The brushes compliment the strumming pattern so well and for such a repetitive song you don't get sick of hearing those chords over and over. That makes it very catchy. The harmonica added a nice splash of colour and made me feel as though I moving out of someones apartment, it added to the songs depth. Nice work. Reviewed by: withoutsound from Seymour, Victoria, Australia

Awesomely different!!!!!
What a fresh sound!!!! Love the graspy voice and playful melody. It has some reminiscent of the 60's mixed with and alternative touch. This is great music! Man, it is frustrating songs like this don't reach the radio. Everything I have heard today should get a chance. You guys are great. I will definetly check your band!!!

Great harp
What a great start with very proficient harp plying. I love the vocals--just the right amount of grit and heart--the lyrics are great and make me hear Dylan singing to 'Sally'. The arrangement is just right. Great song!

This is an old sounding song but actually will make you move your body to its tune. Tune is upbeat and so catchy. Great lyrics. The additional use of not so used instruments also adds to its beauty. This one is so good sounding.

Through mastering leaves a little to be desired, this song is one of the best I've heard from a completely indie band in a long time. The build before each chorus leaves me stunned with the intensity of it. The solobridge section is a great combination after such an acoustic driven song.

Incredibly quirky and fun song that has lots of really cool youthful lyrics and a vocal tone that flows along in a breezy easy style. The rhythm is remisent of eighties pop rock, but very enjoyable. Very cool song!

Lille Killen fortsätter djupdykningen i press som skrivits om Gustav Nilsson på senare år. Här har vi Nöjesguiden Stockholm, nr 2 år 2007, som tipsar om "A day or two with you" som en av de fem bästa demo-inspelningarna som går att hitta på CDON.com. Patrik Forshage har gjort en granskning och kommit fram till att det låter mer pop än singersongwriter om låten, och det kan vi väl hålla med om. Här har ni länken: http://www.mypaper.se/show/text.asp?pid=24522150616348&page=49

Lille Killen har lyckats trilla över en podcast, alltså en sorts blogg, som innehåller Gustav Nilssons låt "Mulholland Drive", plus lite prat och en låt gjord av Akibakei. Det pratas en del om upphovsrätt och sånt och lite annat. På slutet finns "Mulholland Drive" och lite reklam för http://www.gustavnilsson.com/.

Idag släpper Gustav Nilsson sin nya skiva "Graphite sketches"! Det är en 6-spårig EP inspelad, mixad och producerad av Gustav själv, något han inte gjort innan.
