Marie Ulven, the Norwegian artist who records as girl in red, puts her name to missing person, a title that turns inward in the confessional way her writing usually does.
girl in red built her following on bedroom-pop and plain-spoken songs about identity and relationships, often from a queer perspective. Read by its title, missing person sits in that same territory, pointing at absence or someone slipping out of reach.
For listeners who followed her from the early singles onward, this is another entry from one of indie-pop’s most direct voices. It suits a quiet evening and a close listen.
