4th studio album by Oh Land is a fine art pop / synthpop release. Listening to this I honestly don't understand why Danish artists like Mø, Vinnie Who, or When Saints Go Machine attract much more attention. This is solid pop on par with international artists like Lana Del Rey, Ane Brun, and Émilie Simon, and although, this is a bit in the polished end of art pop in a way, I don't listen much to, this is clearly one of her better studio releases to date. Perhaps the negative side to it is that it's too close to a perfect mix of Lykke Li, Lana Del Rey and Marina and the Diamonds - being both slow 'artsy' and more uptempo pop-ish as Marina.
Her album Oh Land was well-received around the world but despite having released two fine follow-up albums to positive reviews, she has been neglected and met as a mere has-been.

Oh Land "Wish Bone" (2013)

Wish Bone
release date: Sep. 16, 2013
format: cd
[album rate: 2,5 / 5] [2,70]
producer: David Andrew Sitek (1-3, 6-9, 13)
label: A:larm - nationality: Denmark

Track highlights: 2. "Renaissance Girls" (3 / 5) 3. "Cherry On Top" (3,5 / 5) - 6. "Love A Man Dead" (3 / 5) - 8. "Sleepy Town" (3 / 5) - 9. "Pyromaniac" (3,5 / 5) - 10. "Green Card" (3 / 5)

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.

Oh Land "Oh Land" (2011)

Oh Land
release date: Mar. 15, 2011
format: cd
[album rate: 3,5 / 5] [3,28]
producer: Dan Carey
label: Fake Diamond - nationality: Denmark

Track highlights: 1. "Perfection" (3,5 / 5) - 2. "Break The Chain" (3 / 5) - 3. "Sun Of A Gun" (3,5 / 5) - 5. "Lean" (3 / 5) - 6. "Wolf & I" (4 / 5) - 8. "White Nights" (4 / 5) - 10. "We Turn It Up" (3,5 / 5) - 11. "Rainbow" (3 / 5)

2nd studio album by Oh Land was her international breakthrough. Despite her 2008 album Fauna, this is by many considered her actual debut. The sound is tighter and consists of more pop-based material, and I find it a generally better release compared to her anonymous debut.

Oh Land "Fauna" (2008)

Fauna [debut]
release date: Nov. 10, 2008
format: digital
[album rate: 2,5 / 5] [2,50]
producer: Oh Land, Kasper Bjørke
label: Fake Diamond - nationality: Denmark

Studio debut album by Oh Land [aka Nanna Øland Fabricius]. The style is art pop with elements of glitch pop closely related to the music of other Scandinavian artists like Björk, Lykke Li, Amanda Jenssen, and Lise Westzynthius. I find it somewhat interesting but often without much to offer but ideas and form.
