The minute I heard “Fingerprints”, I knew this album was going to be something special. Nils Lassen has crafted a deeply atmospheric and moving debut that feels both personal and grand. Every track feels like a new chapter in a larger journey, where synths shimmer, guitars pulse with emotion and vocals haunt in the best way possible. The production is rich and layered, yet nothing feels overdone. There’s a careful balance here, a sense that every sound was chosen with intention.
The variety across the album is impressive, from cinematic orchestrations to moments of raw intensity. He blends male and female harmonies beautifully and his songwriting feels grounded in something real, like connection, memory, and presence. This is more than just a well-made record. It’s music with soul. I felt it from start to finish. For me, “Fingerprints” isn’t just worth listening to, it’s worth feeling. I’ll be returning to this one often.
