“Long Live Herr Nilsson” is an album that makes me want the band to live forever.
The album includes 12 really good popsongs, with good lyrics, good storytelling, and with lots of energy and fun.
Eardrums, Long Live Herr Nilsson review, sept. 2010)
Despite not knowing remotely what they sounded like, I just knew that I had to buy this album. That’s not something I would live to regret. When I came home I popped it in the tray and pressed the play button. What I heard was the sound of one of the best bands I’ve heard till this day.

Herr Nilsson are almost a distillation of everything that makes quirky Scandinavian pop so damned appealing. Title track "Downhill thrill" dances a little into Of Montreal's territory in its midsection before sealing the deal with thin guitar chords, building strings, and anthemic lyrics. It was "Huskies", though, that completely won me over, four tracks into a record I was already stirred by.
Itsatrap.com review of Downhill Thrill (Dec 1. 2007) (8 out of 10)
Herr Nilsson pursue their own special brand of jangly guitar pop, equally happy to lead a melody with a quiet banjo as a heavy guitar. Their influences seem diverse, from the more poppier Flaming Lips songs and country sounds of Wilco, to late Dexy’s Midnight Runners or even the harmonies of your favourite Beatles songs. Hard to describe in just a few words, their album is a must-listen for fans of pop, country, or even both…

I can hear hints of the Decemberists, Great Lakes and labelmates Professor Pez popping up in many places. (…) A fun record overall, and a terrific debut!
Indiepages review of “Im No Elvis” (11 out of 13)
The carnival atmosphere of many of his songs also remind me of the Neutral Milk Hotels of the world. There is a pleasing weirdness that keeps the songs a bit on the peripheral edge of recognition.(.) This is a really fine album of keyboard-driven folk-pop!
