Alicia Edelweiss - When I'm enlightened, everything will be better (2019)

When I'm enlightened, everything will be better is the debut studio album by Austro-British artist Alicia Edelweiss. The record is a vivid example of the "freak folk" genre, incorporating elements of theatrical performance and chamber pop. Inspired by her years of hitchhiking and busking across Europe, Edelweiss crafts songs filled with eccentric humor, sincerity, and unexpected imagery—ranging from stories about cockroaches to musings on unicorns. The album's sound is characterized by the use of accordion, ukulele, and string arrangements, creating a sense of "circus-like" magic and grotesque, while maintaining a deep lyrical quality.
