When you listen to Susanne Sundfør it’s no surprise that she is Norway’s most critically acclaimed artist of the year and one of it’s most successful emerging new artists, with ‘The Silicone Veil’ going straight to Number One in the Norwegian charts earlier in 2012.

A well-respected singer songwriter, Sundfor’s character is disarming and her delivery is exquisitely distinctive. The album is coloured with a wild passion and dark undertones, the theme resting on loss of illusions, faith and hope, and in her own words:

“Apocalypse, death, love and snow.”

‘The Silicone Veil’ has been produced by Sundfør and Jaga Jazzist’s Lars Horntveth, with the likes of M83 and Maps showering her with praise.

Lead single ‘White Foxes’ was immediately well received by Scandinavian critics, bloggers and tweeters across the world. The track was written for the hotly anticipated Norwegian/Swedish film ‘Verden Venter’ – set for release in 2013 – in which Sundfør will appear as herself.

“Sundfør has a fantastically powerful, window-bending face-melter of a voice…” Q

“The Silicone Veil”s best entry point is its single, the filmic, epic White Foxes, a song that begs to be on repeat play. Once that’s done, it’s inevitable the album will have the same effect” 4 stars, MOJO

“Her vocal pirouettes and lyrics (“I wish to God that the earth would turn cold/ And all the pretty tulips would disappear”) could have wandered in from a grief ballad, but the chorus’s blooming synths and the electric-drill bridge suggest a tale far more contemporary and no less haunting.” Pitchfork Best New Track ‘White Foxes’

“If there is a more beautiful and ambitious song this year than ‘White Foxes’…well, there just isn’t” 8/10 Uncut
