Music For People In Trouble

Some of it was decent. There were parts that were super weird. Not sure why someone would want to add this, I will round down.

Good.shit. 5

Beautifully sung and mostly very sparse arrangements. Starts well, like a purer Lana Del Rey, then, for me, just gets a bit boring. However, i can see why it has been submitted as a strong “album to hear before you die” in the same vein as fellow Scandinavian Bjork’s minimalist folk albums.

I really loved the voice and atmospheric vibe on this album and enjoyed listening to it.

This was a pleasant listening experience.

At last! A brilliant album that's been handpicked. Well done whoever you are 👍

Folk poetry mostly one star

WOW. I had never heard of this artist before and from the very beginning it grabbed me. Simply sublime. Familiar-sounding yet completely distinctive. I have a feeling this will become a regular part of my listening rotation, and I will check out her other work as well. Thank you to whoever added this to the list! 4 stars.

Solid compositions

Quite excellent stuff, very moody and cutting in its restraint.

This made me feel more intelligent if that makes sense. Great add.

Delightful voice, chill tunes

Haunting and lovely. Would make for a good "walk in the woods in autumn" album.

7/10. This was nice, but it didn't quite hit home for me.

Quite a cool listen. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this. 7/10

Mellow drama.

Chill, mellow, and folksy. An after-dinner mint.

You get teleported to some magical, norse fairytale with angelic singing. Lovely album to dream away

C'est doux et c'est bon. C'est scandinave a ce que je vois et je ne suis pas familier avec l'artiste mais c'est Un style que j'aime vraiment. 3.75

Weird. Beautiful. Weird. I have loved a few songs, especially 'The Sound of War'

Pop. Folk. Melódico. Tranquilo.

This odd phenomenon of Scandanavians sounding like some variety of American pop singers... still I liked this a lot, other than the spoken word bits that felt a little pasted on and pretentious to me.

The roughness of this, the voice and the simplicity, yet somehow complex structure really get to me. Nicely chosen!

Sundfør is completely off my radar, so this record is a grower for now, close in time and to its likely worse contemporaries. But there's plenty about which I can speak glowingly. A big part of me likes to spice up science fiction - ahem, putting away childish things speculative fiction - as really about ideas, really about the present, a real source of potential and not mere entertainment. And there are two instruments which apply a space schema to country music: Synths and steel. Plenty of the former here, but understated; Music for People in Trouble time-travels, is timeless, ventures out by dabbling back. Melancholy, but there's hope in its complexity.

ugh, more twee waify folk. I'm sure it's very sophisticated and stylish in Scandinavia but boooooooo hiss. 2/5.

Chilling album. Felt like Joanna Newsom. Nice lil listen.

This was unexpected. Honestly, I was a little bored in the first half, but the second half really caught my interest until the finale. I believe, if there is an afterlife, the last track on the album, "Mountaineers" with John Grant (who I love), will be playing as you ascend into Heaven. What a wonderful song that almost had me in tears it was so beautiful. Was a 3.5 for me at first, but easy 4. Great album.
