The Silicone Veil Susanne Sundfør

“while her voice feels like the album’s main strength on first listen, it doesn’t take long to appreciate how good the music is here. The mood is consistent, wistful and pretty, but the sound touches on all sorts of bases - opener “Diamonds” feels like a relative of the This Mortal Coil version of “Song to the Siren” at first before moving into more exotic territory with Lisa Gerrard-esque Eastern-tinged melodies and frantic percussion, the excellent lead single “White Foxes” weds portentous piano to bubbling synths, “Rome” rides a throaty sawtooth synth line at times and a string quartet at others, the constantly rolling “Can You Feel the Thunder” co-opts some of Joanna Newsom’s airiness, and the orchestral, instrumental “Meditations in an Emergency” could have been part of a Howard Shore film score.” - Iai, Sputnickmusic
