The second offering from Denmark's OBG starts slowly, its focus on the melancholy voice of Anna Bronsted and a ghostly reverbed piano track.

This haunting, ephemeral feeling runs through the album. While there's nothing overly original, praise should be given to the band for trying to create something with emotion and concept – the sea and classical music its influences. Not quite Debussy's La Mer, but fans of artists such as Feist and fellow Scandinavians Little Dragon should enjoy this.
