An ethereal journey of personal stories through the prism of art and philosophy by the Norwegian avant-garde pop experimentalist with music that evokes wide, sky-filled landscapes and strangely matter-of-fact lyrics. Year of Love recalls her witnessing a marriage proposal at a gig, while standout American Coffee fuses global exploration and French philosophy. Cemetery of Splendour is decorated with a list of spoken objects, while Classic Objects centres on “a painter in my first studio space … I remember she used to attach her own hair to her paintings.” Another standout, Jupiter, sees her soaring and whispering voice float across a sonic landscape of lilting sounds. Freedom summons a call to “live in a democracy of artistry … not that it ever was”, while The Revolution Will Not Be Owned builds from slow, rippling piano into a treatise on utopia away from “copyright regulations”. Oddball and alternative with an aura of dreamy tranquility. Out on 4AD.
