Back to Norway, and this is gorgeous. Siv Jakobsen has been carving out a tidy niche in the Indie Folk world for almost a decade, supporting the likes of Susanne Sundfør and Jose Gonzalez and releasing cracking music along the way. Her new EP, 'Bird's Eye View', is made up of covers of some of her favourite songs, with brilliant spins on The Cure's 'Just Like Heaven' (the most tranquil, delicate version I've ever heard) and the equally luminous spin on Gregory Alan Asimov's 'San Luis'. Both are incredible, as are the other two tracks. It's all really rather lovely.
