For anyone interested, the new Saint Thomas album, There's Only One Of Me, is officially released today on yesboyicecream records.
Having collaborated with other musicians, such as Lambchop, Herman Dune and Giant Sand, on previous albums, There's Only One Of Me represents a return to his musical roots and to independence, featuring 14 songs written, produced and recorded himself.
Below is the review from the latest Uncut - there's also a track on their cover cd and some more tracks available at www.last.fm/label/yesboyicecream

SAINT THOMAS - There's Only One Of Me
(yesboyicecream)
**** (four stars)
Gnarly Oslo troubadour back on form.
Having recently confessed that pills and alcohol "destroyed my career", Thomas Hansen's sixth LP is a self-recorded affair that suggests a hermit's life is the way forward. As such, it's as roughed up as his psyche. With keening vibrato and raw acoustics, the title track and outsider tale "The Dinner Party" lurch like a punk Neil Young. "The Famous Stalker" finds him peeking out from the shadows of depression, offset by the rustic loveliness of "My Morning" and "After The Show"; both could Elliott Smith channelling Doc Boggs. An unsettling, addictive return.
