With THE WATER IN YOU, Isgaard and her musical partner Jens Lueck (Single Celled Organism) continue their consistent path. Their ninth album is characterized by artful compositions rooted in art rock and art pop, yet consistently characterized by Isgaard's diverse vocal range. Unusual sound clusters collide with rock-infused guitars, heavy grooves give way to fragile acoustic guitars that wrap around Isgaard's emotional vocals. The album critically examines the state of our civilization, addressing the climate crisis, the marginalization of groups, conspiracy theories, and the ludicrous idea of unlimited growth, as well as the role of the individual in this world gone awry.
Here, water is a symbol of what connects us all, without which we cannot survive, a symbol of origin, of simplicity, simultaneously odorless, colorless, tasteless; yet omnipresent, showing us that we humans do not have everything under control.
