Wednesday night, darkness dwells outside and the days get shorter. But in my darkness i listen to Emilíana Torrini. I rediscovered her music the other day and i have been playing here albums nonstop.

Her new ambum – Me And Armini is growing on me, but still, Love in the time of science from 1999 remains my favorite. It was while watching the end titles of The Lord Of The Rings – The Two Towers that i heard her special voice. Gollum’s Song is magnificent, Leonard Rosenman soundtrack is perfect!

I decided to rip my Emilíana CD to my iTunes Library and i have been enjoying her silk soft innocent scandinaviani-sch voice since. Now playing Baby Blue from – Love in the time of science this is a brilliant track!

When i first hear this song i was thinking to myself that she is riding the Björk wave, postmodern angst alá Torrini but now i think she’s a true and recognized artist.
