Karin Park's 'Private Collection' is a pure, raw, and enchanting musical gem. It strips down to the core of her captivating voice and the haunting sound of the pump organ. This intimate album reveals Karin not just as a remarkable musician but also as a mother, wife, and humble individual. Often compared to the Scandinavian Nico and hailed as a 'force of nature' by dark ambient legend Lustmord, Karin's talents are now set to shine brighter. Despite past achievements like a Eurovision entry, leading Les Miserables in Oslo, and performing with Lana Del Rey and David Bowie, her music is still relatively unknown to the broader public. This could change with this stunning new album and an extensive European tour with A.A. Williams this fall. The album consists of nine re - recorded classic tracks from her back catalogue with radically different instrumentation, along with the newly written opener 'Traces of Me'. It's the perfect expression of her artistry. Her husband Kjetil Nernes (Årabrot) plays guitars, Andrew Liles (Nurse With Wound) adds synths, and Benedetta Simeone plays cello on some tracks. The recordings hark back to Karin's childhood in rural Sweden, growing up in a Christian family and attending church in the Swedish woods. Years later, she transformed that old church into a studio. The tracks on 'Private Collection' fully utilize the church's acoustic potential, with the reverberation making the emptiness under the ceiling palpable. By slowing down the tempo and building from the pump organ to a majestic wall of sound, Karin fills the void of her childhood with familiar sounds. Her idiosyncratic mezzo - soprano voice, often compared to Kate Bush or Björk, creates a unique world that's dark, alien, yet cozy. The lyrics have a persuasive power that makes you feel like her world is your own. 'Private Collection' reveals the humanity behind the powerful Karin Park, with her presence floating under the high ceiling of the church yet feeling close to you.
