Birds of Passage

Crystalline synths and bird-like vocals evoke the frozen landscapes of the Norwegian Arctic. A landmark of icy, reverb-soaked electronic dream pop.

Moments Worth Listening For

The way the title track's synths swell like an incoming tide beneath Anneli Drecker's soaring, bird-like vocal trills.

The transition into 'The Glassmaker' where the percussion takes on a brittle, metallic clink that mimics the song's namesake.

The eerie, almost liturgical vocal layering that opens 'Intravenous', setting a tone of deep, cold-weather isolation.
