Album Notes & Community Reviews

Transitioning to a duo format following the departure of Geir Jenssen (Biosphere), the Norwegian group delivers a remarkably lush, globally influenced iteration of dream pop. Anneli Drecker's soaring, classically trained vocals glide over pristine electronic sequencing and prominent world-music percussion, creating a profoundly romantic and atmospheric record.
