Search - Nicolai Dunger :: Here's My Song

The Swedish music scene has brought the world many great pop acts over the years and has recently been a hotbed for edgy indie rock. But Sweden has not been known for introducing amazing singer-songwriters to the world. Until now. Enter Nicolai Dunger, a former professional soccer player who was discovered by a producer while he sang on a balcony in his hometown and gave up his sports career to pursue his passion for music. We're glad he did, for Nicolai is a tremendous talent whose voice recalls the joyful pastoral soul of vintage Van Morrison and the melancholy crooning of both Tim and Jeff Buckley. Though a newcomer to the U.S. music scene, buzz on Nicolai's talent has spread amongst tastemakers and particularly in the artist community, causing artists as varied as Soundtrack of Our Lives, Will Oldham and Calexico all to seek out Dunger for collaborations. But his most stunning collaboration yet can be heard throughout his new album 'Here's My Song, You Can Have It ... I Don't Want It Anymore / Yours 4-Ever, Nicolai Dunger,' which features Nicolai backed by the mighty Mercury Rev. Dunger's aching melodies and soulful vocals mesh with Mercury Rev's dreamy yet driving sound seamlessly and with an ease that reflects the fun the musicians had playing together. 'Here's My Song...' features 11 amazing songs, including the lead single, "Hunger."
