Broken Twin's New Album "May" In Stores Now
The acclaimed new album by Broken Twin entitled May has arrived in stores. Described by the magazine Drowned In Sound as “one of the most exquisite and haunting albums you'll hear all year,” the record is comprised primarily of piano, strings and Danish singer-songwriter Majke Voss Romme's beautifully evocative vocals.
It is a deliberate and powerful simplicity reflected in the record’s title. "I was looking for a title that was simple, and not giving too much away, reflecting the songs," says the young auteur. "Also it represents a time of year that seems to fit the songs. Spring is a time when everything is changing. It's a hopeful season.”

May was self-produced by Broken Twin and mixed by Ian Caple (Kate Bush, Tindersticks, Tricky) and Brian Batz. The result is an intensely personal album. "I wanted to get back to basics, seeking a sound that was warm and lo-fi; minimal and spacious and focused on the songs," explains Majke.
