Wonderland.

“It was hard to be human in my beginning years

because I felt like I had to adapt so much. Even

when I was alone, I tried to behave normally in

my own room. This album celebrates everything

that makes us different.”

From experiencing an unexpected TikTok

renaissance, to recording her upcoming album

in a faraway castle, Aurora Aksnes continues to

captivate with her haunting and hypnotic

melodies. Covering our Winter 2021 issue, the

Norwegian singer-songwriter reflects on why

it’s hard to be human, gradually grasping

privilege, and conjuring a remedy from her

own healing lyricism.
