Wars of the Roses

Ulver

A sophisticated blend of noir-pop, avant-garde jazz, and ambient electronics. Velvet vocals drift through fragmented, cinematic landscapes of urban isolation.

April 24, 2011 · Kscope

A sophisticated, intellectual melancholy that feels both deeply personal and historically vast.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden arrival of a mournful trumpet line that cuts through the electronic haze of track 2
The transition into the nearly fifteen-minute spoken word meditation of the final track
The way the rhythmic pulse of February MMX gives way to a lush, choral-backed climax
