“Obel's music is as sparse as the snow-swept Scandinavian backcountry, and mostly scored for piano, voice and an occasional cello or harp. Yet it brims with a barely concealed passion that has helped make her quiet riot-in-the-heart album a huge European seller.” – Time Magazine

“It’s a rarity: a new album that…is great from beginning to end.”– KCRW

“…a stark, minimalist palette reminiscent of Cat Power and Joanna Newsom.” – Details
