Borusiade's second full-length is a document of a period of drastic transformation, both for the artist herself and the world at large. More stripped-down and less club-centric than the Romanian musician's previous releases, the album's brooding electro soundscapes are accompanied by deeply introspective lyrics that reflect on self-distancing and question the relevance of one's own private thoughts and feelings. Released in early 2020, the album's subject matter became all the more pertinent as the world was forced under quarantine due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While Borusiade's vocals are masked on songs like the hypnotic, vocoderized "Time (No Time)" or the brooding, shadowy "When I Read the News Today," they're more upfront on the deadpan creepfest "Mirror Hall (This Relief)" and especially the close-to-home "Lament (Fortunate Isolation)." Both this song and "The Death of a Desire (A Ghost)" join atmospheric synth textures with pulsating electro bass lines, as well as Borusiade's detached yet determined singing. "To the Self" is a propulsive electro-industrial track, filled with clattering beats and a more insistent bass line, along with commanding vocals. Fortunate Isolation makes an ideal soundtrack for shut-ins who had no other option but to socially distance, even before it was mandatory.
