Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded in Portland, Oregon with producer Tucker Martine, the Swedish sister duo leaned away from their polished pop sheen towards a rawer, deeply heartbroken Americana sound. The lush acoustic arrangements and pristine vocal harmonies beautifully articulate profound romantic devastation and resilience. It serves as a gorgeously authentic, highly emotional chapter in their modern folk-pop catalog.
