All my demons greeting me as a friend

"Nineteen year old Norwegian and native of Bergen AURORA Aksnes, AURORA to the pop music world, lives in this world. In portraits and videos she surrounds herself with butterflies; symbols of freedom, carriers of dreams, the personification of a soul - living or dead. In her lyrics on debut album All My Demons Greeting Me As A Friend she sings of a hunter's moon, wolves, blood, dreams and running, escaping. AURORA is a 21st century teenager, a pop star who has soundtracked one of the most eagerly awaited television adverts or moments of 2015 yet her debut album, aside from dealing in the emotional and existential problems we all face in our lives, seems to speak of a world which exists only in dreams or on the pages of a fantasy novel".

"Steeped in gelid electronic textures, pulsing beats, and yearning modalities, Aurora's All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend also blends vivid lyrical imagery with parts fantasy and heartache for a haunting full-length debut. The 12-track album by Norwegian singer and songwriter Aurora Aksnes includes two European charters from her prior EP, 2015's Running with the Wolves".
