FredLem bon un peu de lumière quand même après le duo dark "Years in Denial". synth pop de qualité avec des relents légers de Roxy Music dans quelques subtilités d'orchestration.

Garrett Cypert Excellent release through and through. I couldn’t be happier with the vinyl pressing. Super clean, quiet, dynamic, and really helps these tunes shine!

DiscoStu Call it Dream Pop, SynthWave, Synth Pop or whatever you want. It's simply great, pumping Synth-baselines, nice arpeggios framed with soothing pads and strings. One of the best Albums in 2021 so far. You simply have to love this Album. Favorite track: Fantasma II.

about

”Badlands album is inspirited by something magical.. with 'Djinn', she succeeds in placing the distillate of her musical heritage in the midst of our present.” - Dagens Nyheter

”Djinn' is a stunning, delicately composed collection, paying homage to Badlands’ electro, post-punk and new wave influences, and in the end, something fresh, new and all her own.” - SPIN Magazine

"Badlands solidifies herself as the leader in her field." - IMPOSE Magazine

"If you’re looking for an elevator pitch, Djinn is 'My Bloody Valentine' crossed with 'Lykke Li'. Or something like that. In other words - terrific." - The Irish Times

"When Djinn was released last year, I was blown away, stoked like a misfit child on dystopian eve." - GAFFA
