“An old sofa in a forest – album cover strikes the surreal tone with permeable boundaries between fantasy and reality. The lyrics are by nature seekers with existential questions about time and space, past, present and future. The music has an air of breathless wonder and pensive naivete. The duo Sarah Riedel and Joonas Kuusisto, vocals and bass, is a well-balanced foundation with just the right portioned addition of Anders Gabrielsson’s tenor saxophone. Sarah Riedel moves on a sliding scale varied between a sensitivity of Marilyn Monroe and Bjork or an extrovert music hall performer.”

5/6
