Seeking to break free from the synthpop image that defined their early career, the Norwegian trio pivoted significantly toward organic, acoustic-driven pop-rock. Featuring a highly successful cover of the Everly Brothers' 'Crying in the Rain', the album highlighted the band's mature, increasingly melancholic songcraft.
