Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Swedish composer's striking debut heavily centers around her powerful, commanding vocals and intricate piano arrangements. Before fully embracing the colossal pipe organ aesthetics of her later career, she crafted this deeply melancholic, poetic collection of chamber-pop that deals heavily with themes of mortality and mourning.
