Album Notes & Community Reviews

Incorporating a slightly broader instrumental palette than her earlier, strictly acoustic work, this record integrates synthesizers and electric keyboards into her ethereal gothic-folk. The lush production perfectly complements her haunting mezzo-soprano, exploring themes of doomed romance and literary tragedy. It marked a significant maturation in her evocative, dream-pop-infused songwriting.
