These Things Take Time

by Molly Nilsson

Self-released entirely on her own Dark Skies Association label, the debut album from the Berlin-based Swedish songwriter is a lo-fi synthpop revelation. Utilizing cheap keyboards, primitive drum loops, and a deeply melancholic, deadpan vocal delivery, the record perfectly captures a stark, romanticized urban isolation. It heavily influenced the modern DIY darkwave movement and established her fiercely independent career.
