Great review for APF in the swedish magazin GROOVE



Fantastic moods can be born if you let minimalism, ambience or mellow folk and/or pop meet, interact and blend. It might just as well be about nature- or animated sounds meeting, like indie folk in an industry hall. A Perfect Friend could be Harold Budds industry working cousing just as well as Blixa Bargeld's long range ... Mehr lesensecond cousin from a improvises 1970's. It's instrumental, it's folky, it's a flight on a cloud at dawn, it's a calm open sea with all possibilities put in front of you, with out any bondries to be seen. It's electric, it's eclectic; sometimes hard to grasp, sometimes instant, often monotone but always organic. That's a conclusion you reach if you got time. A variable that can be adjusted. Both beautiful and bothering.

You can listen to the whole album here: http://is.gd/52QeM or buy it at i-tunes or at our ithinkmusic-shop.
Soon a limited CD-version is available, too.
