In this episode, we get to meet Icelandic singer-songwriter, Emilíana Torrini. Torrini has been releasing music for quite some time, debuting in the 90s, but has just released a totally bewitching new album this past June called Miss Flower. The story of this record is so rich and layered and surprising, it makes sense that she and I mostly use this chat as an excuse to take a deep dive into its world. Miss Flower, the character of this album (because it is, indeed, a story album), was based on a real person, and the tale of how Torrini found out more and more about this woman's twisting-and-turning life (which includes love letters, crushes, espionage, and various countries) feels like some old classic noir film brought to musical life. (And for that matter - the album has also been turned into a full-on film as well, which we also touch on.) It's a great talk, and will hopefully make you want to delve into Miss Flower again and again, looking for clues, connecting dots, and getting lost. Thanks for listening.
