Album Notes & Community Reviews

Returning after a five-year gap, the Swedish singer-songwriter documented the painful dissolution of a long-term relationship. Shifting away from his sample-heavy past, the record utilizes delicate, highly orchestrated chamber pop to accompany his wistful, witty, and highly romantic reflections on heartbreak.
