The new cd 'Arctic' is a conceptual album about polar expeditions and Arctic flora & fauna. Though it's being largely inspired by the late 19th-century endevours of Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, this album is at the same time Thomas' clearly most personal, outgoing and experimental material to date. And despite it's obsolete theme, this is also an album expressing big amounts of personal and contemporary details and Thomas clearly defines his own part in the songs as he deals with an urge of emerging (Svalbard, Expedition), a missing of what's been sacrificed or left behind (Smile with your 1000 teeth, Nansen), a fright of changes (Twin Sorrow, A Continent Lost), some delirious sights (Deer Theatre, Peacock Color Song) and sincere hopes for a calm closure (The Whale Hunt, Feline Funeral).
