Debut album by the Danish folk noir artist Ida Wen?e. In the motherland of pop music, she is already at her feet and we won't be able to resist her charm for long - from various digital music platforms to BBC 6 or The Guardian (see below) the seldom reserved critics on the island almost roam with enthusiasm over the Danish singer/songwriter, who still lives in Berlin at the moment. Time of Ghosts "was produced by Jonas Tranberg, whom she still knew from Boho Dancer times, and shows besides the obvious love for Americana sounds also British and Canadian influences, among others Vashti, Joni Mitchell and Neil Young or the Danish folk hero Sebastian. Some of them are latently reminded of Joanna Newsom or Coco Rosie, others call Feist or - of course Ida Wen?e is Ida Wen?e and her charisma & voice has something special - "her icy, almost Icelandic tone is unbelievably strong and angelic and is unparalleled in Scandinavia" says the Danish channel P6. Just like on the best Nordic Noir recordings,"Time of Ghosts" also succeeds in the special tonal balancing act between purity and dirt, which regularly produces pleasant showers for the listener. The loneliness often sung in the songs comforts, the honesty of the songwriting is deeply moving and never lets go - English may only be Wen?e's second language, her captivating lines, however, can only come from a heart beating in a language other than the mother tongue.
