Kevin Renick listed Dream as one of the top ten albums of 2008 in playback Motivation:

Sofia Hardig | Dream [Filthy Records]

"All hail the new electronica queen! The Swedish sonic auteur had already transitioned from guitar-based rock to a darker, more electronica-driven approach on last year's brilliant The Need to Destroy. On this new album, Hardig takes a commandeering approach to the genre, sculpting coolly dramatic synthesizer parts, edgy mechanized rhythms and her own gripping, vulnerable vocals [which are sometimes distorted] into an unsettling aural experience that's like nothing else out there. Something about Hardig's music seems to serve as a running commentary on how the human heart is increasingly imperiled in an age of technological dependency and depersonalization. She undertakes a lonely journey to the center of that technology, then seems to cry out for holding on fiercely to one's humanity. The results are unsettling, hypnotic and brilliant." Kevin Renick Playback

"Many of the caractaristica of the electronica is here, but i dont want to limit Härdig to be just about that. In many ways its like its rock she is doing, but with strings blipps and scratches. Her forth album "Dream" offers beautiful listening " Tobias Petterson Zero

"The electronica queen Sofia Härdig is back.."Plaskis

"Hon har bott och jobbat ett par år i Berlin och är nu hemma igen. Dream är gjort där, och har blivit hennes bästa album. Där andra album skiftat från låt till låt är här en helhet, en berättelse. Den går att höra som en personlig bekännelse, en saknad blandad med eufori. Hon beskriver kärlekens väg och besvikelse, det bedrägliga i passionen, ja, nästan det dödande och bedövande. Det är en mörk skiva, men hon förmår sjunka in i passionens hetaste hörn och gestalta detta, vilket också ger en brännande sinnlighet. Och borra sig in i märgen av den isande besvikelsen... ... då och då går hennes rötter i dagen. Det är när hon skapar malande, upprepade figurer till en sång, där ljudbilden och innehållet närmast är att likna vid någon gammal blueshjälte som stängt in sig på hotellrummet för att älta sin besvikna kärlek. ... Att hon kombinerar detta med ett klangligt sökande har blivit särskilt lyckat här, då hon sökte en träffande form för den sinnesstämning som varieras på albumet." Thomas Millroth sound of music More

WHAT IT WAS From the upcoming album Dream
WHAT IT WAS is the first single from Sofia Härdig's upcoming, fourth album Dream . After she dedicated herself increasingly to synthesizers, programming and strange sounds on her last album The Need To Destroy , Sofia continues, on the follower, even more precisely with harder, electronical, industrial noise. What It Was is a combination of facinating and captivating sound landscapes and catches the listener with Sofia's distinctive, thrilling and unique voice. On the single are as well two other jewels from the upcoming longplayer, the marvelous Renamed and Million Years.
