Press fell
hard for Ane here last time around...
Rolling Stone:
“...elegantly strange songs mix surreal whimsy with Scandinavian
darkness”
Time:
“...most compelling of all is her voice--- a mix of Bjork’s
unpredictability and Joni Mitchells directness...”
Paste:
“...full of evocative melodies,
heartfelt lyrics and razor sharp guitar picking”
Interview:
“A work of haunting
minimalism”
NY Times:
“surreal folksiness”
People:
“...melancholy splendor that will
keep you crawling back”
Pitchfork:
“Brun aims for the best of
subtle, spacious songs that work best at 2am...”
Slant: #1 record of 2006
“refreshing and
pure, a throwback to traditional folks music at the same time keeping one
foot firmly planed in the no longer-neo, neo-folk movement”
Time Out Chicago:
“it refreshing how
much variety Brun brings to her game”
Time
Out New York:
“...so perfect that it evokes awed
pleasure rather than gloom”
American
Songwriter:
“the arrival of an artist who has found her
creative voice....a singer songwriter whole talents transcends musical
movements and genre designations”
Venice:
“...sultry torch singer, sixties
folks master and witty entertainer...”
Gotham:
“Brun eschews the typical
singer-songwriter clichés by way of creating vintage-sounding
acoustic melodies that deal with despair without sounding
desperate”
Guitar World
Acoustic:
“Brun sings melancholy ballads to the fluid
singer picked accompaniment of her acoustic guitar”
