“Her despairing lyrics are performed by a shimmering voice over a noise of crackling synths, until everything's brought down by muffled piano. In many ways it sounds like a contemporary mix of Kate Bush meets The Knife and Röyksopp.”

With her new album The Silicone Veil (released October 2012), Susanne Sundfør expands her musical universe. The Silicone Veil is the follow-up to her critically acclaimed platinum album The Brothel (2010), which spent 30 weeks in the Norwegian album charts and has sold over 40 000 copies sold.

While The Brothel was more of a dark, cold and closed atmosphere, The Silicone Veil is full of warm and rich melodies that are woven into multifaceted and complex soundscapes. The lyrics, however, point in a completely different direction: They are about despair and the loss of illusions, faith and hope. They explore our inability to understand the difficulties of our contemporary life and to acknowledge its consequences instead of denying them. Thematically, The Silicone Veil deals with the blurred boundaries between one state of existence and another, between life and death , between people and between us and the earth. As Sundfør himself sums it up: "Apocalypse, death, love and snow".

“White Foxes”, the first single from the album, was well received by critics, bloggers and Twitterers alike. The song is in many ways a musical bridge and a natural continuation of the soundscape of The Brothel. Susanne says of the video: “The video to White Foxes combines two worlds that are essential to my new album, The Silicone Veil: the old world, forests and ruins, and the modern world, technology and silicon. And everything is covered in snow, just like in The Dead of James Joyce. We are all isolated."

“White Foxes” was made for the Norwegian-Swedish filmVerden venterwhich will be released in early 2013. Sundfør will also be seen in it. She plays herself.
