Jakob Olausson is a farmer in the south of Sweden, from Landskrona, and he works there in the fields of sugar beets.

Not to re-hero-ize the life of the prole, but the workday sun has had a clear influence: Moonlight Farm is a rec made on a dime, in a dime-sized bedroom apartment, and it transcends all the limitations that that scenario has thusly taught us to expect.

A real "statement", in the micro-politics of personal resistance / expression in a globally commodified life, and we're here to sell it to you.

Moonlight Farm is comprised of ten songs, somehow both comforting and unsettling, concerned with the classic subjects: the garbage, the flowers, one's mother, and the love of them all.

Laid thick with a vague dissonance, they possess a mask of fog / haze, but the trail between writer / performer / song is not often trodden in such a deftly crystalline manner.

Enter the Moonlight Farm.
