Dark, delicious, scandinavian dream-pop at it’s best...Anne Marie Almedal releases new album ”We Dance Alone”
Anne Marie Almedal has slowly but surely made quite a name for herself over the years as beguiling frontperson for Norwegian art-pop shoegazers Velvet Belly, then as a thoroughbred ”female Nick Drake” singer/songwriter folk-pop chanteuse for her previous four solo albums, with some stunning tv soundtrack placements and covers of ”Paint It Black”, and The Cure’s ”Lovesong” breaking hearts and reaching new fans along the way...
Produced and co-written with husband & film composer Nicholas Sillitoe (”Occupied”/Netflix), together with the twisted Ableton chillstep beat meastro Even S, and mixed by none other than Tim Bran (Primal Scream/Dreadzone/London Grammar)
"Sweetness multiplied, sadness tripled, her music brings you a closer step to heaven...as fantastic as sharing the last cigarette with the one you love." - ESQUIRE
"...a hint of Norwegian ice sends chills through all the rustles in the hedgerow." - FINANCIAL TIMES
"Breathtaking" - DAILY EXPRESS
"Superbly chilled, the low-key approach seems to apply further intensity to the Norwegian singer's delivery, really focusing in on each word. A very lovely, pretty, sensual piece of music, it takes preconceptions around Anne Marie Almedal's music and shunts them into a different plane." - CLASH
