Album Info

Given the folksy, almost Appalachian-type feeling of her debut recording, and the cover photo that would lead one to believe Sjofn lives the life of Heidi, Girl of the Swiss Alps, there are a few clues that suggest she is not just a simple mountain girl. The presence of long-time clarinetist Paul Monsaratt, and producer Jesse Gunn are a tip-off, as is the well crafted phrasing within her lyrics. What seems to remain simple, at first listen, is the production of the recording. However, Sjofn points out that, "We spent a lot of time and effort making this recording sound just this way. We want to be part of the 'front porch folk revival' by sounding as if this music is being played in the living room or front porch of anyone's home."

Indeed, the "Secret" album is a refreshing remedy to today's overproduced singer-songwriter fare with their techno-prefect voices and instrumentation. With a soothing voice, Sjofn sings out over finger-strummed guitars, banjos, electric guitars, clarinet, and washtub bass with the emphasis on honest, straight, and unaffected delivery. Her acoustic and experimental folk songs have an unvarnished yet haunting appeal to them and are accessible enough to ring true regardless of guise.
