Britta Persson and What She Leaves Out

Britta Persson makes Swedish indie folk that sounds like it’s withholding something on purpose—melodically direct, lyrically sideways, with a dryness that reads as wit if you’re paying attention and as blankness if you’re not. Meet a Bear has that quality: the kind of track that takes a few listens before it catches you somewhere unexpected.
