Susanne Sundfør - "Ten Love Songs"

<3

pretty good album, i like it a lot more than music for people in trouble but it's obviously no ten love songs.

three of the ten tracks being spoken word is a little much for my taste but the second of those at least has a cool instrumental

I was a bit nervous about the spoken word songs ruining the flow similar to the latest Lana Del Rey, but they totally work here. Need to spend time with this album as there's so much to take in but there's some really gorgeous moments here. I love how loose it all feels.

I gave it one listen yesterday. It was pouring rain here - perfect weather to light a candle and put on a singer-songwriter album. Don't have any specific comments off that one listen, but I really enjoyed it.

xp well it helps that two of the spoken word tracks are just the intro and outro and the other has a compelling enough backing

There are some great songs here, like the entire "ashera's song" -> "ru​̄​nā" sequence (Susanne doing Scott 4/psych-folk-ABBA is a good look)...though I'm not sure the whole album adds up, the back half is (so far) a bit dispensable apart from "alyosha".

The flute part in sannu yarru li reminds me of a relatively famous jazz or funk song. it's on the tip of my tongue and I feel like an idiot for not recognizing it.

Just here to repeat this, basically. This is a great, chill album. Just flipped the disc from Fare Thee Well to Leikara Ljóð. Great sequencing there.

Still wondering about the flute part I mentioned in my last post. We have some kind of rolling thread for recognizing melodies on ilx, but I can't remember what it is off the top of my head.

Found it! I was thinking of Fishbone: Can anyone identify which song used this melody?
