Album Notes & Community Reviews

The notoriously reclusive Swedish vocalist delivers an incredibly lush, highly orchestrated return to accessible art-pop. Setting her impossibly delicate, childlike voice against sweeping string arrangements and subtle trip-hop beats, the record creates an icy, cinematic atmosphere steeped in Scandinavian melancholy.
