David Josephson may want to be Sweden’s own Leonard Cohen—quite a lofty goal. But with his debut English-language release “G-d knows what” as Nervous City | Nervous Self he does strike soft tones of articulating a hopeful uncertainty. With some self-deprecating poetry and lush production he sounds like an indie folk New Order including some nice mini cascading drum line to accent a song transition and melodic, expressive bass lines and lonely piano. With the song it would be misplaced to say Josephson is on his way to being the Swedish Cohen but he is a songwriter of note who might be on his way, for now, to being the Swedish John Grant. Check out his amusing and utterly fitting video below and follow Nervous City | Nervous Self at the links following.
