"...With Christian Gabel (1900) and a bunch
of qualified americana-musicians he makes
wonders with his genuine collection of songs..." /NÖJESGUIDEN 4/6in englishläs på svenska
"Mats Grönmark is brilliant" /JOYZINE 4/5 in englishläs på svenska "...The former Burek V-member has
gone for a solo-career and does it
with such self-confidence that the
album (with the long and complicated
title) whizzes itself past all lines and
grabs the fast-lane to the status of a
classic..." /SUNDSVALLS TIDNING 4/5in englishläs på svenska "...A popmelody is crossed by a funky soul-bass, some
punk is hidden inside a cruel Crazy Horse riff, some
honky-tonk, in other places the riffing will go right on
and make your sideburns curl themselves up.
In the pressrelease it says 50's country, turkish
synth-disco, americana and steel-guitar funk.
It's that crazy. It's that good...." /LIRA/HONKYTONK DELUXE/GÖTEBORGS FRIA TIDNINGin englishläs på svenska "...Pour a big glass of ice-tea, sit yourselves down on the porch (or balcony might be more likely) put on Tape Hiss Hit or Miss and Sometimes Even Bliss and just relish..." RECOMMENDED IN:
/GIFTORM SKATEBOARD MAGAZINE in englishläs på svenska "...It's in his odd phrasing, in his unconstrained relation to the unsteady rhythm, his total devotion as a singer; an esthetic that is as defiant as it is consistent..." /SYDSVENSKAN 4/5 in englishläs på svenska "......From shaggy wobbly country
to Dinosaur Jr-rock to...something utterly
personal.
Mats Grönmark sings in a way
I have never heard a swedish artist sing
before – ”and I love it”!..." /MUSIKINDUSTRINin englishläs på svenska "...he does it with an alternative-country
that if anything deserves the increased genre
description alternative-alternativecountry..." /UPSALA NYA TIDNING 4/5in englishläs på svenska "...he has something
that is his own and it is beautiful in some weird kind
of way..." /NORRAN 3/5 in englishläs på svenska "...a voice to love or hate..." /SMÅLANDSPOSTEN 3/5 in englishläs på svenska "...Grönmark shows class..." /ÖSTRAN in englishläs på svenska "Interesting but remarkable" IKON
