Review
Floating somewhere between Denmark and the States is Oh Land, a sonic territory lush with strings, anchored by sub-beats and glitches and buoyed by bright, vampy vocals. --Filter September 2010
If you could bottle up the sounds that live in those magical Disney forests and lace it with a buttery vocal, it would be Oh Land. And that my friends, is called pure incantation. --New York Post October 2010
The syncopated vocal loops and dubstep womps of Sun of a Gun rocketed straight to the top of Hype Machine...ARTIST TO WATCH IN 2011 --NME December 2010

Product Description
Oh Land is without question one of the most talked about new artists for 2011, landing on many critics' must-listen lists in advance of her highly anticipated debut album. The eleven song album is a mix of lavish loops and layered vocals that pound through on songs like the album s first single Sun of a Gun. The jungle drumming electro-pop of songs like White Nights evokes a quest to find peace and a sense of home in the chaos of a city that never sleeps. The speaker-panning samples and honeyed hooks of Dan Carey (The Kills, Franz Ferdinand, Hot Chip) and Dave McCracken (Depeche Mode, Beyoncé, AFI) along with Oh Land have created an album of rich harmonies, beautiful symphonic arrangements over the enchanting voice of Oh Land.
This album is all of my secrets, wishes, dreams and fears, explains Oh Land. I tell stories from my life wrapped in fairytales and fables all happening in the dreamy landscapes of a world I call Oh Land. I hope people will find an escape in the music and let their thoughts and dreams run wild, just for a moment.

Welcome to a new sound. I first heard this band over a year ago on a blog and I was blown away. To say I've been waiting for this is a bit of an underestimate. Oh Land is female Nanna Řland Fabricius. I think I once read that her instruments were all hand made and she recorded some demos in her bedroom- she's THAT good. Her sound is whimsical meets electronica with a little bit of mystery mixed in. My favorite track on the album is definitely White Nights.

Her voice is just totally unique...and this album ROCKS. If you enjoy Regina Spektor or Shivaree (look her up too) then you will be equally amazed at Oh Land. My favorite tracks are White Nights, Rainbow, Perfection, and Sun of a Gun. Do yourself a favor. If you're bored of the same old sound on the radio listen to these tracks and sit back. Totally different sound!

Amazing album! So talented, and you hear it with every song. Her voice is so beautiful, it flows so well. Before you know it, the CD is over!
My favorite songs are:
Voodoo
Human
White Nights
She does remind me of Florence + The Machine. But, her voice is her's, not at all like Florence. Can't wait for another album.

If you only give Oh Land a passing glance, you may be tempted to label her as just another up-and-coming blonde-bombshell pop diva. Although your assessment does not entirely miss the mark (she is a blonde bombshell afterall), her style is much more akin to Bjork or Beth Gibbons (or maybe even Regina Spektor) than the more stereotypical pop acts like Katy Perry or [insert other shameless sellout here]. There is a rich depth and maturity to her sound that can pique the interest of even the most seasoned musician... but the catchy beats will also ensure that her stuff ends up on playlists at dance parties everywhere. If Oh Land is indicative of where mainstream pop is headed, the future looks bright indeed.

I was skeptical at first, but upon hearing the album, I thought it was rather good. She is definitely hard to categorize, but modern pop comes to mind. Stand out track are Human, son of a gun and human. I have been trying to think of who Oh Land reminds me of, but the answer is elusive. Regardless, if you like Kate Bush - you should like Oh Land.

"Oh Land" restored my faith in pop music. This girl finds ways to create catchy beats with cute little quirks that make a sound that is distinctly her own. It's refreshingly different while still being catchy and upbeat. Definitely worth a listen.

"Oh Land" is a great collection of songs that are very uplifting and dreamy. Listening to these musical tracks on this cd is a very sublime experience because many of these songs have strong themes of love and emotion. For example, "Perfection" is a very unique song that has a great beat, and appears to be about someone consumed with studying their target of admiration. I admit that I find this song catchy and fantastic, but it is hard for me to confess this as I am aware that "Perfection" is possibly from a stalker point of view. My overall favorite song from this compilation is "Rainbow". I love the "Rainbow" song because it is a joyful musical track that reminds me of my husband in a positive way. "Rainbow" is a song that is about someone that has brought much love, understanding, and transformation in a person's life. "Oh Land" is best for anyone that enjoys unique and ethereal pop music.

Oh Land is a true original. Her music can be thought provoking, light, fun, silly, and deep all at the same time. This is a great record.

I will be seeing Sia on tour soon and decided to check out her opening act Oh Land. So glad I did it's a wonderful album. She reminds me a lot of Florence and the machine with her haunting and dark sounds, yet at the same time it's uplifting, inspiring, and fresh all at the same time. I love her feminine voice it really flows on every track. Oh Land's album is certainly one I recommend anyone check out she delivers quite a journey of an album.

Oh Land
This CD was better than I expected. I hope to hear more from this group. There are at least 4 other songs I like besides Son of a Gun.

It's quite good music, easy to listen to + it has some nice rhythm (not Beyoncé kind of rhythm, but still...not bad)

My God
I first heard Oh Land's music when I saw her live in Chicago before Sia (Furler), the main act, went on. And "Oh" my god, she (and her one man band) were outstanding. Read more

It's Offbeat Pop
Oh Land has created an unique album of pop. It is not mainstream as it has a lot of electronic beats and the songs don't really have the ridiculously repetitive choruses of most... Read more

Never heard of Oh Land? Neither had I, but on the advice of a friend from Europe, I bought the CD and I'm loving it.
