Luke Jackson traveled to Sweden, with a heap of pop songs in his luggage, to collaborate with Magnus Börjesson (remember Beagle?) and ex Brainpool members Christoffer Lundquist and Jens Jansson. It all resulted in the album “And Then Some…”, a real pop-feelgood-album.

It almost feels like this is Luke Jackson’s own condensed version of classic guitar based pop history. Then it always starts somehow in  George Martin’s studio, but lands in the fantastic pop-seventies. There’s gorgeous string arrangements, beautiful melodies and and a songwriting full of fantasy, leaving some space for being unpredictable. But I can also hear the traces from his coworkers’ earlier pop history from the nineties.

You can find Luke Jackson on his site and you can listen to the entire album on his Bandcamp page.
