She offers a kind of musical authority that is only fully realized by openly acknowledging and submitting to one's own vulnerability.

In a year overrun with countless horrors and innumerable cultural, social, political, and personal setbacks and pitfalls, All Thoughts Fly takes Orsini’s artistic expression of grief and imbues it with an unparalleled sense of beauty.

Without Von Hausswolff's astringent vocals, this solo instrumental album feels lighter on gates-of-doom atmosphere than previous work, but even so, whispers and echoes start to bounce off this record's walls, promising revelation at every turn.

All Thoughts Fly is undoubtedly a peculiar album, but absolutely one well worth investigation.

Von Hausswolff uses the organ’s full expressive range, exploring new sides of the instrument on each song without ever disrupting All Thoughts Fly’s essential solemnity.

It’s a charming and utterly enveloping release, and one worth setting aside some time to get lost within.

Fragile Angels Frail From Afar (or, Operatic Junction)
Church organ aflame, Anna Von Hausswolff is back with an astonishingly harrowing piece. A distinction known to all who have heard, Hausswolff is capable of moving the listener to different mysterious lands, and on “All Thoughts Fly”, you’re instantly teleported.
You’re plopped down into this misty, deserted marsh in the middle of nowhere. The air is hazy, and you can only see as far as your hands in front of you. ... read more

After meeting the magnificent Dead Magic, I was super curious about Anna's other works. While the melodies can be so delicate, they convey a feeling of fear of the unknown, and this combination makes her an even more special artist, especially in the time of completely commercial songs in which we live today. Listening to anything from Anna becomes an experience.

To release a church organ album that never once sounds hymnal is something close to genius in itself.
The album cover is secretly a snapshot of the face of your average redditer.
Anyways, I may get how this maybe boring for some, but I personally liked this album. Listening to this was just so sublime, The textures on this album are just so incredibly crisp and eerie, giving this such a transcendental experience.
Little repetitive, and having no vocals may be disappointing for some, but still check it out, I think it’s an album worth listening to
