SUMMER IS LIKE A SWALLOW (2018)
"An amazing songwriter"
BBC Radio Ulster (UK)
“She caresses with her voice the disturbing strangeness of life and reassures us. It rises above our turbulent seas, like a benevolent fairy on a cradle crying on a rainy day, to make way for a serene calm.”
“Sara Forslund seems to view the world from a slightly different elevation to the rest of us and that allows a unique and always personal perspective, that considers love, life and happiness through a dreamy vision of the natural world” Nordic Music Review (UK)
“Wearing its vulnerabilities openly and with a stark, unflinching honesty lyrically and a sparse take on folk.”
Get In Her Ears (US)
“Cozy as the quiet sea of winter, refreshing as the sun’s rays make their way through a melancholy gray sky.”
Triste Sunset (IT)
“The album gives back its real scope to Folk music. (…) Timeless, haunted writing” Les Inrockuptibles (FR)
“Forslund embarks us on a new musical journey resolutely peaceful and sumptuous. It’s all about acoustic fingerpicking and a quasi-mystical honeyed interpretation”
“Pretty but not precious and with contempo intrumental-production
touches that avoid sounding grafted on.”
The vinyl district (US)
“A feminine extension of Sufjan Stevens’ melancholic eloquence”
“She delivers a richly detailed but sober album which is really of a crippling beauty (…) In more than 40 minutes she delivers 10 songs that settle somewhere between folk, singer-songwriter music, jazz and dream pop"
Da Subjectivisten (NL)
“An emotional sound carpet, that certainly gets under the skin”
Gezeitenstrom – Musikmagazin (DE)
“An artist outside the box who can be said to have developed her own personal formula of shadowy modern folk”
Music wont save you (IT)
“A voice that makes you want to close your eyes and lay motionless”.
