"Even though this young lady is from Sweden, I'd place her at the forefront of the American vanguard. One listen will tell you why and how." — Rob Ross, PopDose.com

Swedes can write a mean pop song — but what about folk songs? Well, one artist is nonchalantly transferring the charm and fun found in most pop songs into sweet, acoustic twang. Sofia Talvik, brings bubbly blonde ambition to this raw and often quiet genre with a captivating breath of fresh air.

Talvik's 16 month, and 37 state long tour, through the USA (in an RV) has moved her new album closer to the Americana tradition. The adventure on the road spurred a lot of emotions, both those of triumph and joy, but also those of self doubt and defeat — all of which found their way into the songs of Big Sky Country.

Living like a musical nomad, moving from place to place, slowly but steadily building her audience through her heartfelt and personal performances she got to experience the USA in a way few people do. The people she met opened their homes and hearts to her and some of them even made it into her songs. But the new album is not a diary from her tour, it's more of a storybook of emotions, new and old in which everyone can find their own place.

Recorded in Sweden, Germany and the U.S over the course of four months the album is now being released in the U.S and Canada in April through Caroline/Universal. Although simple and acoustic, the album sounds full but not overbearingly so. Twangy electric guitars and tasteful banjo fills highlights in just the right places, as Sofia's own acoustic guitar provides the steady base of the songs.
