Album Notes & Community Reviews

Relocating to Iceland, the singer-songwriter collaborated closely with Birgir 脼贸rarinsson of GusGus for his sophomore release. The record brilliantly juxtaposes his acerbic, melancholic lyricism about heartbreak and his HIV diagnosis with icy, 80s-inspired synthpop arrangements.
