Susanna — Triangle (29 April 2016) 
Δ Introspektivní a celkově hluboce expresivní. Albem “Triangle” Susanna pokračuje ve svém trendu pohlcujících úniků od mimořádně talentovaného umělce k definitivním reprezentantům scény a vzorovým hrdinům naší doby.

Boomkat Product Review:
Δ Susanna defies expectations with a broadly colourful, stylistically diverse range of backdrops and abstract vocal processing in this deeply impressive album - her redefining opus? Can’t think of any other artists willing to commit 22 songs and explore so many styles on one album! Maybe over 2 or 3?? Also features Helge Sten a.k.a. Deathprod
Δ “Susanna’s first solo album since 2012, and her eleventh album in total, is a mastodont of a singer/songwriter release. Near 70 minutes of intensely expressive, deeply felt and spiritually probing lyrics, presented and performed in layers of voice, electronics, effects and programming together with instruments as piano, violin and tuba. The artist known for personal interpretations of songs by Joy Division, Leonard Cohen and AC/DC among others but also her strong originals , has dissected her own musical expression, collaborations and projects, and put the pieces together again creating a unique and diverse world for her songs.
Δ ‘Triangle’ is composed, arranged, played, recorded and produced by Susanna. Musicians from Norwegian bands like Supersilent, Broen, Moskus, Splashgirl and Sudan Dudan participated alongside americans Alison Chesley (Helen Money) and Emmett Kelly (The Cairo Gang).
Δ Triangle is billed as “soul music for lost souls” made from layers of voice, electronics, piano, violin and tuba. Re–examining her relationship with spirituality and superstition, the album finds her in “intimate, confessional mode,” the press release notes, “confront[ing] existential darkness head–on” and “filled with magical omens, apocalyptic fires, black holes and floodwaters that constantly threaten oblivion.”
Δ On the terrifying ‘This / Phenomena’ it’s distorted into a digital mush, while on ‘We Don’t Belong’ it’s multitracked to a lush and enveloping chorus. Muted electro track ‘Hole’ features Anja Lauvdal and Heida Mobeck from rising art pop group Broen besides Skrap, Skadedyr and Moskus – not since Prince in the mid–80s has an existential religious crisis been so beautifully expressed with the tools of electronic pop.
Δ Even in this golden age for female singer–songwriters, Susanna stands out. Her vocal has become ever more versatile and fluid, recalling at times Kate Bush, the Laurel Canyon balladry of Joni Mitchell and Laura Nyro, or the acrobatics of the Cocteau Twins’ Liz Fraser. But it’s always recognisably her own: calm and determined in the face of enormous forces and looming fears.
