3rd studio album by Oh Land produced primarily by David Andrew Sitek (tracks #1-3, #6-9, and #13), Nanna Øland Fabricius (tracks #4 and #12), WNDRBRD (tracks #10, and #11), and Dan Carey (track #5). The album is more clear pop-minded, which is a bit sad, as it sort of vanishes in the huge pothole of pop releases. It falls much in the same category as Fallulah, Nabiha, Marina and the Diamonds, and Lana Del Rey as contemporary pop with hints and bits of dance-pop and electropop. It's a vast genre and it's difficult to stay original.
