There are few albums more intimate than those by Stina Nordenstam. The Swedish singer lays her delicate voice over minimal, ambient soundscapes, and her lyrics are impressionistic, personal and poetic. It's like swimming in her stream of consciousness, and that's a very nice place to be, especially on this 2001 album, which presents Stina at her dreamiest and poppiest. This Is Stina Nordenstam is a long-awaited pressing by vinyl fans, with a full-color inner sleeve containing the lyrics. Mitchell Froom is co-producer; it includes some duets with Brett Anderson of Suede (on “Trainsurfing” and “Keen Yellow Planet”)!
