Parma Violets album review: Wolf Larsen- Quiet at the Kitchen Door

Wolf Larsen. An incredible artist and moving musician.

When I first discovered her music I was convinced they were songs from a film soundtrack of an incredible and inspirational movie. I remember where I was, an autumn afternoon staring out the window at the purple-grey clouds, with my thoughts and an empty house.


The first song I heard was "Quiet at the Kitchen Door". I have never heard such cinematography, drama, and intensity in a non-classical indie track. I especially love the short monoluge/poem at the start which transported me to another world and took me along on a journey.Wolf Larsen's voice is instantly calming and the instrumentation of every track is pacifying. What I love about this album is that it follows incredible storytelling. The whole album flows together but doesn't sound like one long track. The innocence and purity of each song and simplicity in the layering of sound is sublime. I would reccomend this album for any time you want to relax, for late evening listening and for snuggling up next to the windown with a blanket on a rainy day with a big mug of hot tea. However you're feeling I can personally gurantee this album will make you feel at peace.
