A songwriter and composer who’s loyal to the American traditions, but just left of the centre: that’s how Jonathan Edward Sunde views himself. And rightly so, because Sunde effortlessly writes timeless classics in the spirit of the greats. Think Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Leonard Cohen, Paul Simon and the honesty of Jonathan Richman.

J.E. Sunde’s latest record ‘9 Songs About Love’ was released last year by big French indielabel Vietnam (Christine & The Queens, Metronomy, Charlotte Gainsbourg). ‘I Don’t Care To Dance’ ended up in Radio 1’s playlist. For fans of classics and contemporary songsmiths like Sufjan Stevens, Tobias Jesso Jr. and Andy Shauf. Breaking Waves!
