The slow build of his music and the way it makes you understand the themes he's trying to convey without any lyrics is incredible.

Being Swedish I can see how this kind of music could exist here... Melancholic, kinda dark - fits us pretty well

Yeah, it's a little rabbit hole! I got into this niche of that 70s era sound that grew up with bands like Kenny Rogers & The First Edition, The Eagles, and their contemporaries. I've seen it called 'appalachian' rock in a handful of articles and blogs over the years. I think @arghdos may be able to explain it better than I can, he's got a great handle on the 70s.
@Amarok -- reminds me of something like Don Nix and the Tulsa/Gospel-y sound, or Bobby Charles' S/T album (e.g.), which are roughly mix of Tulsa Sound / Southern Gospel / Swamp Pop / Rock. Cousin...

I love this style and I hunt for it obsessively.
