The second full-length album from Brimheim – the alias of Malmö, Sweden-based Danish-Faroese artist Helena Heinesen Rebensdorff – is a revelatory set of arty, emotional, expansive alt-pop that consistently packs a gritty, grungy punch, yet also delivers delicate, crystalline, and deceptively groovy moments. Cohesively held together by her stunning, soaring vocals, RATKING is a cathartic record that she wrote “as a way to understand the intense emotional pain of my youth,” ultimately finding liberation in her own self-worth.

KEXP's Chris Sanley reviewed this release, sharing, "The debut album from Luxembourg-based Jana Bahrich – aka Francis of Delirium – is an absolute knockout. Lighthouse is jam-packed with big, sweeping swells of sound achieved by excellent guitar licks, infectious hooks, emotional lyricism, orchestral flourishes and a confident, powerful vocal performance.
"Her strong songwriting and distinct indie-rock sound with a pop sensibility hits all of the right marks on one hell of a debut." Read more: tinyurl.com

"It’s rare to find an album where every track is so intense that it could be a maxi single on its own. The group from Seattle, however, managed to create such a masterpiece. They have written an album that is simply marvelous." www.whitelight-whiteheat.com

All vocals are sung in Icelandic, except for those on this track, "Olsen Olsen" and the last section of the title track, which are sung in the gibberish language Vonlenska, a term coined by the band. Sigur Rós' subsequent album, ( ), used Vonlenska exclusively for its vocals.
"The original Traffic had two phases. The first , a winsomely psychedelic pop band that blending blues, folk, rock, and R&B, fronted by Steve Winwood - best-known for his lead vocals with the Spencer Davis Group - and Dave Mason. After Mason, the band became Winwood's vehicle for longer, moodier excursions that leaning into to jazz and soul. Traffic was exceedingly popular in both incarnations.
With such hits as Paper Sun, Dear Mr Fantasy, Feelin' Alright, Pearly Queen among many others, they left a lasting legacy of music. " www.liveatthefalcon.com
