Taken from the 2025 release, The Imperfect Sense (Reworked). This time, the Swedish experimentalist trains his expert lens on his brilliant 2018 album The Imperfect Sense and manages to extract all the nuances and fine details that make that album so special. As with his recent Hearing Things (Reworked), Nilsson has been hard at work remixing and remastering the original cuts, and the result is stunning. The Imperfect Sense (Reworked) is available on all streaming services and Erik Nilsson’s Bandcamp. Erik Nilsson’s music is available for licensing through Hidden Shoal. Head here for more details.

“Between the gentle warmth of the acoustic arpeggios of the initial “A Tap At The Window” and the progressive post-rock rhythmic crescendo that seals the over fourteen minutes of the final “Once, The Held You In My Arms Forever”, extends a sound microcosm in which nocturnal synthetic stratifications alternate with jazzy piano cadences and with an almost infinite series of variations of times and timbres,” – Music Will Not Save You

From the cascading acoustic guitar loops of ‘A Tap At The Window’ through to the emotive found-sound, post-rock crescendo of closer ‘Once, I Held You In My Arms Forever’, The Imperfect Tense triangulates a musical landscape of potent melodic terrain, full of evocative details and melancholic shadows. Nilsson expertly interweaves the electronic with the acoustic, precision-crafting each track with an auteur’s ear for dynamics and space, resulting in an instrumental suite that is as accessible as it is experimental.

Erik Nilsson - A Tap at the Window (Reworked)

Autumn Leaves" is the English-language lyrical adaptation of the French song "Les Feuilles mortes" ("The Dead Leaves") composed by Joseph Kosma in 1945. The original lyrics were written by Jacques Prévert in French, and in 1950 Johnny Mercer wrote the English lyrics. An instrumental recording by pianist Roger Williams was a number one best-seller in the US Billboard charts of 1955.

Lyrics:

[Verse]
Wish I could
I wish I could just
I wish I could just forget about you
You got me
You got me under
You got me under the palms
Oh you do
Under the palms
Under the palms

[Prechorus]
I don't need to love you
But it could be fun to
How long could we just lay here?
Maybe it's dangerous
This fire is made for us
This bed could be the ocean
If you wanted it to

[Chorus]
You got me under the palms
Oh you do
Under the palms
Under the palms

[Verse 2]
Look at the stars
Lined up just for us
Just for us
Oh
Under the palms
Under the palms

[Prechorus]
I don't need to love you
But it could be fun to
How long could we just lay here?
Maybe it's dangerous
This fire is made for us
This bed could be the ocean
If you wanted it to

[Chorus]
You got me under the palms
Oh you do
Under the palms
Under the palms
