Album Notes & Community Reviews

Seeking to escape the acoustic indie-pop sound that brought them massive international success, the Swedish trio pivot heavily toward dark, percussion-driven electropop. The recording features dense, polyrhythmic drum programming, sparse synthesizers, and notably more anxious, mechanical arrangements. The deliberate stylistic shift polarized critics but demonstrated their willingness to experiment with starker pop textures.
