Bel Canto's first release remarkably shows the group already well-established with their 
own blend of sounds into a new style, with an assurance and elegance that might otherwise 
have only come after many years of work together. From the many world musics that the band 
uses to gloomier post-punk and more serene electronics, everything fuses together excellently, 
with Drecker's beautiful voice carrying all that comes before it. While she's not as distinct 
or unique a singer at this point in her career as, say, Kate Bush  or Liz Fraser of the Cocteau Twins, 
her skills are nonetheless evident, including a fine ability to sing in a variety of languages. 
Besides her native Norwegian, she tackles Spanish and English with aplomb.
