The Gods We Can Touch (CD)
Aurora
Amoeba Review
Some singers just seem touched by the gods; that’s the case with Norway’s left-of-center pop singer Aurora. Fittingly for this daring songwriter, her latest album reaches back out into the cosmos, with the title The Gods We Can Touch. The songs are theatrical electro-pop with avant-garde sensibilities in the vein of Florence + the Machine, Austra, and perhaps a glossier Jenny Hval. The vibe is sweeping and cinematic, with seeing strings, captivating vocals, and disco-tinged rhythms. On this album, Aurora crafts a fairy tale world all of her own imagining—it’s a welcome, vivid, brilliant dream.
