Album Notes & Community Reviews
Benefiting greatly from the production contributions of Talk Talk's Mark Hollis and Porcupine Tree's Steven Wilson, the Norwegian vocalist crafted a breathtakingly lush art-pop record. 'Smiling & Waving' seamlessly incorporates icy trip-hop beats, sweeping orchestration, and avant-garde jazz textures beneath her delicate, idiosyncratic voice.
