Faces Down

Sun-drenched acoustic melodies meet sophisticated jazz-pop arrangements. A precocious debut defined by lush strings and intricate, warm guitar work.

It's like if a 19-year-old Norwegian kid spent his whole life listening to Burt Bacharach and Beach Boys records.

A sophisticated blend of youthful optimism and quiet, intellectual melancholy.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The intricate, bossa-nova-tinged guitar work that opens Sleep on Needles.

The sudden, lush orchestral bloom that lifts the chorus of You Know So Well.

The nine-minute sprawling evolution of Things You Call Fate that closes the record.
