Album Notes & Community Reviews

Utilizing rich, medieval-inspired chamber folk arrangements, the Scottish-Danish composer explores profoundly philosophical and pastoral themes. Her stunningly ethereal vocals intertwine with deeply melancholic, highly progressive acoustic instrumentation, crafting a uniquely baroque art pop atmosphere. It is an intricate, historically reverent, and brilliantly melodic contemporary folk triumph.
