As a (guest) pianist with Efterklang, the Danish singer Anna Brønsted has experienced up close what it is like to make music that makes a select audience completely lyrical. With Our Broken Garden, Brønsted exchanges the seat on the side for the central spot on the stage.

Our Broken Garden manages to cover the listener with minimal means. Under the cover of piano, guitar, bass and drums, Brønsted shares her secrets in an excellent way.
