Thomas Jonsson announces Give Up Together, the LP, is the Swedish singer-songwriter’s forthcoming album as I’m Kingfisher, and follows his 2023 album Glue. On the new album Jonsson says: ”This time I’ve been keeping the songs open, being able to see them as whole in a way that I haven’t when working on the previous albums. I’ve been picking the songs up over and over, tweaking and changing, until the recordings days really.”

For Give Up Together, Thomas gathered some of his best friends for the studio sessions. Producer and multi-instrumentalist Carl Edlom, cello player Helena Arlock and jazz musician Bebe Risenfors have all been a huge part of I’m Kingfisher’s music in the past while Svante Sjöblom is new behind the drums (also playing with Swedish indie folk noir giant Christian Kjellvander). The album also features guest vocals from Alina Björkén (Könsförrädare/Tiny Oceans) on “Winter of ’85/’86”, while L.T. Fisk plays the piano on “Look What You Made Me Do” and renowned Swedish photographer Mats Bäcker recorded saxophone for “White Denim”. The distinct album artwork sets the tone and features a photograph by Serbian photographer Aleksa Jovanovic.

Jonsson has shared the stage with Kevin Morby, Courtney Marie Andrews, The Weather Station and Damien Jurado. One of the finest songwriters of the Nordic folk wave, Jonsson’s been quietly building a more than impressive catalogue, and is finally ready to step into the limelight alongside his more famous contemporaries with Give Up Together containing some of his finest work yet.
