Hymns from Nineveh was one of the year’s most critically acclaimed Danish albums and was was subsequently hailed as album of the year by Gaffa. Behind this self titled debut is one Jonas Petersen a Danish singer and guitarist who works under the alias Hymns from Nineveh. Hymns from Nineveh are the sound of life’s highs and low, protest songs and hymns respectively, melancholy and joy. All feelings evoked by his live shows, when he’s joined on stage by seven other musicians. “It was during the morning downpour that Hymns from Nineveh took to the stage, and played one of the best sets of the year’s Rosklide festival, you live and breathe for moments like that. The Danish debutants, with Jonas “Hymnboy” Petersen leading the charge, gave an inspired performance of dynamic folk-rock songs lifted from their brilliantly ramshackle debut album." – Kim Skotte for Politiken reviewing theur performance at Roskilde 2011
