Album Notes & Community Reviews

Initially released independently before the band found wider international success, this album outlines the Danish group's ambitious fusion of soaring indie pop and progressive structural ideas. Jonas Bjerre's ethereal falsetto glides over an impressive array of complex guitar work and shimmering synthesizers. Many of these tracks were later re-recorded for their breakthrough international debut.
