Frøkedal's debut album ‘Hold On Dreamer’ arrives in a whirl of acclaim, with Anne Lise Frøkedal emerging an incredibly realised and well-versed debutante, following collaborative stints with Robyn Hitchcock, Sufjan Stevens and successful Norwegian outfits Harrys Gym and I Was A King. In 2017 the album was nominated for a Spellemannprisen - Norwegian Grammy - for Best Indie Album of the Year. "There are echoes of Vashti Bunyan, Nico and early Marianne Faithfull – especially in her lyrics, timeless. Startlingly beautiful” - The Sunday Times “…think Fleetwood Mac getting on pretty well with Joni Mitchell.” – BBC Radio 6music, Lauren Laverne “This is a voice that demands to be heard” – The Line Of Best Fit “A potent introduction to something quite special.” – CLASH “A hand made almost entirely of diamonds.” – The 405 ‘The Sign’ – Track of the Day, Q Magazine “A grippingly gloomy solo debut” – Uncut Magazine
