Album Notes & Community Reviews

Drastically shifting from her earlier trip-hop and electronic pop work, the Icelandic vocalist presents a stark, intimate acoustic record. The production is incredibly sparse, focusing almost entirely on her delicate, whispering voice, gentle acoustic guitar picking, and subtle, atmospheric ambient embellishments.
