Alice Boman - Space Between [LP] Vinyl Record

Swedish songwriter Alice Boman has been thinking about space a lot lately. The silence between sounds, the unspoken bonds between humans, the enormity of the universe and her place within it. You can follow these mini epiphanies on her stunning new album, The Space Between. Ruminating on intimacy and existential angst, to listen is to hear Boman's thoughts unfurl in real time, her quiet contemplations cocooned in sympathetic arrangements created in collaboration with producer Patrik Berger (Robyn, Lana Del Rey). Berger also produced her 2020 debut album, Dream On, which received widespread praise for it's immersive yet startlingly-intimate soundscapes. The Space Between sees Boman working with a broader palette than that of Dream On, imbued with an enveloping warmth which radiates from her gossamer-light vocals. For "Feels Like A Dream", additional vocals were provided by Perfume Genius, a collaboration that came about via Instagram and was recorded at a distance. It's a journey she hopes listeners will share in, finding comfort in community. Because as Boman knows all too well, when life gets too much, there's always music.
