Not knowing if this was a band or a person I thought the cover was interesting, so I bought it. Turns out Aurora is Aurora Aksnes a Norwegian singer\/songwriter. The music is Synth Pop\/Dance with a bit of Norwegian Folk music mixed in. The music reminded me of Cvrches and other bands like that.  Her distinctive voice is a mix of Bjork and Dolores O&#8217;Riordan. Another record listened to in June of 2019 just days before my blog. I had listened to side one a few times before that. I found the songs to be catchy with good beats and Aurora&#8217;s wonderful voice. 7 singles were released from the record. It won album of the year in Norway and best video for &#8220;I Went Too Far&#8221; One of the singles &#8220;Running With The Wolves&#8221; is on my playlist. &#8220;I Went Too Far&#8221; with it&#8217;s infectious chorus will go on there today. &#8220;Winter Bird&#8221; is another good one with a Nordic Folk sound. Side two I had not listened to before and it has some good songs too. &#8220;Through The Eyes Of a Child&#8221;, another single, is a ballad with piano and Aurora&#8217;s voice. &#8220;Murder Song&#8221; was another one that sounded good. The final 2 tracks &#8220;Under The Water&#8221; and &#8220;Black Water Lillies&#8221; have subject matter dealing with drowning. She has put out four more records since this one, her first. I have never seen any of them but would consider buying one if I did. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A record I bought at Barnes &amp; Noble in late 2016.
