Warnings is the third album from I Break Horses a.k.a Maria Lindén. Faced with making the follow-up to 2014's plush Chiaroscuro, she chose to put an emphasis on instrumental, cinematic music. While watching a collection of her favorite films, with the sound muted, she made her own soundtrack sketches. These sonic workouts gradually evolved into something more. It wasn't until I felt an urge to add vocals and lyrics, says Lindén, that I realized I was making a new album. Warnings, is an intimate and sublimely expansive return that sets it's own pace with the intuitive power of a much-loved movie. It's sumptuous sound worlds, dreamy mellotrons, haunting loops, analogue synths and layered lyrics crackle with immersive dramatic tension. It's not a political album, though it relates to the alarmist times we live in. Each song is a subtle warning of something not being quite right. Turn, Silence, L a R M, I'll Be the Death of You, D E N L I L L a P Å S E a V L y C K a, The Prophet, Neon Lights, I Live at Night, Baby You Have Travelled for Miles Without Love in Your Eyes, Death Engine, A B S O L U T a M O L L P U N K T E N, Depression Tourist
