Overview

• Laufey frames the project as an embrace of anger, anxiety and insecurity after earlier work that emphasized restraint.
• The sequencing shifts from early hope to mounting unease, closing with the jarring finale ‘Sabotage’ described as a musical scream.
• Aaron Dessner contributes alongside longtime collaborator Spencer Stewart, while twin sister Junia plays violin and steers visual and merch creative.
• The palette spans country and Icelandic folk alongside classical, bossa nova, jazz and pop influences.
• A North American arena tour is scheduled for this autumn, including two nights at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.
