Description
It’s like The Knife meets Joanna Newsom. – Ride the Tempo
The bubbly keys add stress, accurately encompassing the passion that is found in Icelandic folk culture – passion bred by the cycle of long days and long nights, relaxing summers and harsh winters. – Grayowl Point
When you enter the world of Montreal’s Syngja, there’s never really a clear line between fantasy and reality […] leaving you in a bewildered state of bliss as the music penetrates the vast parts of your imagination. – Noisey
The album is lush, melodic and dramatic, folding together elements of Icelandic folk music, classical string arrangements and pop structuring. – Cult MTL
