Tookah

This is a very pleasant, gentle album. It is somewhat different than her previous albums. It seems to be largely acoustic, with some hints of electronic instrumentation mixed in the background. Not that other albums didn't have this sound, but there was usually more electronica. Emiliana's voice is unmistakable, as is her lyrics. In some ways some of these songs reminds me of Lisa Hannigan.I would recommend it if you like Emiliana's other work and are interested in a acoustic album

Incredible album but I'm rating the vinyl pressing here too, it's terrible. Noisy and warped. I'm on my third copy and have just given up and kept this one, they were all sub-par quality.

An outstanding album. I enjoy listening to all the songs, but "Speed of Dark" is my favorite: a superb song that deserves more radio airplay.

I just love her stuff

great Music

Why is Amazon no longer listing the tracks that are on a CD? Since there are often different versions of albums, it is impossible to know what I might be getting if I were to purchase a CD.

What a discovery this album has been. I've been listening to Emiliana since Paul Oakenfolds collaboration "Hold your Hand" and have been amazed at her musical journey ever since. The last album Me and Armini was the only album I thought she went a bit off her path and was not quite her. So thanks first of all for finding the way back from the commercial buzz to mystery and intimacy.With Tookah I recognise her in every way. The musical journey explores new genres, reinventing her style, keeping up with trend and yet creating something hauntingly beautiful you almost don't want anyone to know about before it gets played round the clock on the radio.The basslines are so refreshing and Emiliana has really created a musical landscape here. Electronic beats are slipping from 80's synthpop tunes in Speed of Dark reminding you a bit of the Cure to heavier, dangerous and experimental beats in When Fever Breaks. My favourite track (although I hate to make distinctions - they are all special!) has to be Tookah. The harmonies are switching at every corner and with the first listen you might feel like on a rollercoaster. Autumn Sun is another intimate folk ballade taking you back to Fisherman's Woman but with a twist from her new world Tookah. It's amazing amazing amazing and I can't praise this album more right now, what have the Icelandic that we don't have? They must get these tunes in their dreams.

Great stuff from Emiliana Torrini. Has a sort of 80's vibe to it as well as a folky feel - you can't really categorise her sound and you really shouldn't just play it and enjoy!! Highly recommended…

Tookah is a great Indie music album. Calming to listen too and very Icelandic and atmospheric.
