Viic Woods - Unravel Time

Fakta Viic Woods is the solo project of Swedish artist Victoria Skoglund, previously in the post-rock quartet Audrey and indie-folk duo Mire Kay. With Viic Woods she steps fully into her own artistic voice. Poetic songwriting, slow-burning arrangements, warm guitars, pulsing synthesizers, and organic drums drive the stories forward.

Her solo debut album Unravel Time grows naturally from a minimalist introduction into rich, layered structures. Skoglund’s clear and grounded vocals stay close to the listener, while the songs combine the personal and the planetary. Tracks like Wasted All Those Years and Why radiate quiet intensity, balancing tension, hope, and reflection.

The album is intimate yet expansive, calm on the surface and charged underneath. Subtle touches such as sampled birdsong, spoken words, and gentle production give the songs room to breathe. Unravel Time is one of the most urgent pop albums of the year, with a strong thematic narrative dealing with what is at stake in our fragile times while evoking resilience and change.
