Description

The Soderberg sisters’ first album in four years is aptly titled. If 2014’s Stay Gold expressed a deep desire for change, then Ruins rakes through the rubble left by those changes – both the sisters’ separation (subsequently reconciled) and the collapse of Klara’s relationship which arguably triggered her departure. Songs such as “Rebel Heart” and “Fireworks” are fraught with regret over her self-destructive tendencies, and “Ruins” itself confronts the impossibility of trying to rebuild what’s irretrievable; while the sparse setting of “To Life A Life” evokes the dawning realisation that “there is no other way to live a life, I’m alone”.
