In this episode we spoke with Anna Roemer, a Danish musician known for her signature ambient guitar sounds that transcends the possibilities of what sounds the humble instrument could achieve.

Her new album with danish label Stereo Royale entitled Ambient Drift is a landmark work full of beautiful sounds that evoke a lot of emotions without stating too much - a classic philosophy that permeates Nordic music.

We asked Anna about everything from how and why she picked up music as a career to how her Danish upbringing shaped her sound to her future plans.
