Some wonderful words on EERA’s current album ‘I’ll stop when I’m done’ out on Test Card Recordings from the likes of Uncut (****), The New Cue and Loud Women below.[Click on header to continue].
Inspired by a Marilyn Monroe quote, the album sees EERA, aka Norwegian artist Anna Lena Bruland, reflect on the real lives and pressures of Hollywood’s Golden Era starlets in an honest, raw celebration of womanhood, past and present. The album's sound is soft, lush and textured recalling PJ Harvey’s softer work and the psychedelic dream-pop of Broadcast, with production from Chris Taylor (Grizzly Bear).
'I'll stop when I'm done' is out now on vinyl here.

PRESS QUOTES:
“(EERA) returns with a sparser sonic palette, and lyrical inspiration from adopting the tortured personae of Hollywood’s golden-era starlets. It’s that’s a risky move, it pays off. Bewitching stuff.” Uncut 8/10
"EERA hits Hollywood highs on psychedelic dream-pop album ‘I’ll stop when I’m done’.” Loud Women
"Indie-pop artist EERA returns with an eclectic, thoughtful new album on ‘I’ll stop when I’m done’.” Mix It All Up
"From start to finish 'I’ll stop when I’m done' fits together perfectly, a rich, lush record that hazily pulls doleful folk, warm strings, shimmying, stripped-down indie-rock, electronic-tinged orchestral-pop and harmonised hymnals into its orbit over ten tracks that never outstay their welcome.” The New Cue
“Everything about this album is gentle perfection. It is beguiling, emotive, poignant in its connection with the bitter-sweet lives of female stars (and their roles) and empathic in the way EERA folds her own experience into theirs. Simply put, in three words, I’ll stop when I’m done is sublime, sublime, sublime.” Joyzine
