Album Notes & Community Reviews

Written and recorded following the dissolution of a major relationship, the eighth studio album from the gothic-folk artist is a stunningly stripped-back, profoundly melancholic affair. The deeply acoustic record heavily features gorgeous string arrangements and vocal harmonies provided entirely by female contributors, including Sharon Van Etten and Angel Olsen. It stands as a breathtakingly haunting, deeply intimate exploration of guilt and heartbreak.
