The gods we can touch

"All the influences are controlled and tastefully curated; her focus is sharp. `The Gods We Can Touch' is loaded with AURORA's idiosyncratic quirks and enchanting notions, but it's never purely a slave to whimsy. Now's the time to give in to AURORA".

"With her fourth album, AURORA captures all the essence of the cold and folkloric Scandinavian atmosphere and fuses it with electronic, synthetic textures and very intimate orchestrations".

"Musically this album is another step forward from Aurora's last long player A Different Kind Of Human, already three years old. It is refreshing that an artist should get that time between albums to further their craft, and Aurora has pushed herself in that gap without compromising on expression. These songs are her most heartfelt to date, reaching into the depths of her character. The influence of Björk is occasionally audible, but so are inflections from as far afield as Enya and composer Karl Jenkins. Yet Aurora is very much herself, one of the most exciting female singers around - and The Gods We Can't Touch adds another set of strings to her generously filled bow".

"Aurora er stadig pop, men langt mere legende og vital end før ... både hver sang og det overordnede lydbillede er mere varieret og eksperimenterende end tidligere. Sangformatet er fortsat stramt, men albummets variation er stor og indbydende. Kraftudladninger og beroligende passager afveksler med hinanden, og organiske blæsere og strenge tilføjer noget forfriskende til de elektroniske elementer ... Sangenes variation, udforskninger og legesyge giver os stadig masser af grunde til at spille albummet flere gange ... meget vellykket".
