"Musicians often forget to focus on direct approach to the listener. This is exactly where Wio specializes in: he's got something to say. Each song tells another story, like a fairytale from Grimm. Sometimes lovely, sometimes threatening. Wio doesn't waste time. His music is pretty straight, and his target is visible for everyone. Just listen closely to his voice: whispering, and still clear for everybody. His gentle guitar touch resulting in songs so beautiful you wonder why he isn't in the same league as Nick Drake, Flying Saucer Attack, (early) Smog or Alastair Galbraith. His second album simply proves what everyone expected from him... Sure it isn't all songwriting but somehow he tries, in his own way, to fill the gap between experiment, pop and pure lovesongs. His first album was a real lo-fi gem, this one is really 'hifi' and his first proper album (since his previous one was a kind of collection of tapes, radiosessions etc.).".
