Songwriter/composer J.E. Sunde writes beautifully unusual music. A classically trained musician with a love of songwriters and performers like Leonard Cohen, Nina Simone, and Paul Simon, Jon writes densely poetic songs with a bent toward the philosophical. Also, his voice sounds like some sort of weird angel. "[J.E. Sunde] should make Sufjan Stevens fans cry with joy and delight the lovers of Still Crazy After All These Years." -Soul Kitchen "J.E. Sunde is one of the greatest indie-folk singer-songwriters around." -Daytrotter "One can bet [J.E. Sunde] will age like a Will Oldham good vintage." -Telerama "[I Will Smile When I Think Of You] began as a fight against melancholy and ends up in a surpassing place — it also speaks to the notion of knowing when a good idea has turned into a great one." -Bob Boilen, NPR All Songs Considered "A mine of melody." - Flood Magazine
