 "Alexander Bard without kitsch loses much of his charm, and I certainly wouldn’t recommend starting with Gravitonas and this EP to those who don’t know him."

 "Just an Alexander Bard at half capacity like this is enough to sweep away Hurts, Bastille, Lana Del Rey, and the entire endless throng of inept and overhyped newcomers."

The EP’s six tracks balance simplicity and emotional sincerity, led by vocalist Andreas Ohrn. While less theatrical than Bard’s past projects, it maintains his signature melodic immediacy. Standout songs like "Someday Someone" and "Sacrifice" showcase this new direction. Fans of Bard will appreciate this refined chapter, and the review hints at exciting future collaborations. Discover Alexander Bard’s refined electropop journey with Gravitonas’ Black Ceremony — listen now and experience modern synth-pop innovation!
