NPR’s All Songs Considered recently hailed Broken Twin as a “Favorite New Artist” with host Robin Hilton stating "Her voice just sends me. It's very vulnerable but very powerful at the same time.” In addition, SPIN named Broken Twin as one the best new artists earlier this year in their Five Best New Artists for May 2014 calling the sound “perfectly, exquisitely devastating.”
Broken Twin’s debut album May is now in stores. The dramatic sound is comprised primarily of piano, strings and Romme's beautiful and moving vocals.The record was self-produced by Broken Twin and mixed by Ian Caple (Kate Bush, Tindersticks, Tricky) and Brian Batz.
Additional Acclaim For Broken Twin:
“One of the most exquisite and haunting albums you'll hear all year” - Drowned In Sound
“There’s something about the unaffected clarity of Broken Twin that rings true straight away: the tremor in her proud voice, sure as an arrow in contrast to the lonely pedal steel caws that arc throughout the song, as she sings of a break-up shivering down lonely spines, stark in the moon’s reflection, over a humble, clanky piano line.” - Pitchfork
"Her music is sparse, expansive and centered around delicate, affecting vocals.(...) It captures the sense of Nordic loneliness through a fragile piano line and softened vocal harmonies.” -

"Broken Twin is the most arrestingly beautiful songwriter we’ve heard in aeons." - NME
"Piano, violin and subtle loops form a minimalist soundscape of songs full of longing(...) One is reminded of the great Hope Sandoval." - Rolling Stone
“Her music is filled with delicate hooks, and exhibits a sweet/dark dichotomy." - Under The Radar
I find it hard not to consider Broken Twin as one of the most gifted young songwriters I’ve heard in a long time." - The Line Of Best Fit
"With a pristine voice and a bunch of slow-burning, violin-laden sorrowful compositions in her arsenal she’s bound to achieve great things." - Clash Magazine
