From time to time I feel the need to search out music that sounds like Jens Lekman or Peter Bjorn & John, I’m not particularly sure why, but often I’ll go through all the e-mail submissions until I find a suitable indie-folk artist who recombines classical inspiration into inspiring compositions of his own. I was truly fortunate to come across the Jon Sonnenberg ‘Acoustic Selections’ as he fits the bill exactly. Harnessing beautiful strings, guitar and various instruments that can be plinked and plunked in harmony Sonnenberg has created some songs that should have those folks in Gothemburg and Amsterdam sitting up and paying attention, and the coolest thing is he’s from Cleveland. America has a new hope in the great indie-folk cold war.
