BACKGROUND
Three highly evocative tracks, all with a rich positivity and beauty that is simultaneously intelligent and whimsical: from the wonky "Mäster Åslund", by the English/Swedish crossover four-piece Swåp, to Jenkins' sumptuous "Agnus Dei", to Sigur Rós' almost impossibly wonderful "Olsen Olsen", which, if there was ever a search to find the national anthem of The State of Happiness, would fit the bill perfectly.
