AURORA Celebrates 10 Years of ‘All My Demons Greeting Me As A Friend’

AURORA is celebrating 10 years of her debut album ‘All My Demons Greeting Me As A Friend’ by releasing the previously unreleased title track and a collection of alternate versions she has dubbed the ‘Moth Tapes.’ This milestone marks a decade since the original record first catapulted the Norwegian songwriter to international fame.

Set for release on September 25, the reissue features a unique moth-inspired vinyl pressing. Built around intimate early recordings, demos, and previously unheard material, ‘The Moth Tapes’ offers a fresh perspective on the era that defined her early career. The collection includes the long-awaited title track, which showcases her signature ethereal vocals layered over a driving, rhythmic pulse.

The 10th-anniversary edition includes demos for fan favorites such as ‘The Silent Twins,’ ‘Running With The Wolves,’ and ‘Let Me Heal You.’ Notably, it also features a 2013 demo of her global hit ‘Runaway.’ The song has seen a massive resurgence in 2026, accumulating over three billion combined streams and charting across multiple continents, including Nigeria, Vietnam, and Indonesia.

Reflecting on the project, AURORA shared, “It’s been over 10 years since I wrote these songs, many stories have been long lost and now some of them will find their way into your hearts. It feels vulnerable to release something unrefined, but I know sometimes that is what people need the most.”

The full tracklist for the anniversary reissue includes:

  • ‘Runaway’
  • ‘Conqueror’

Beyond the music, AURORA has remained prolific. Following the release of her 2024 album ‘What Happened To The Heart?’, she recently joined forces with Tom Rowlands of The Chemical Brothers to form the band TOMORA. Their debut album, ‘Come Closer,’ has already gained significant traction, particularly following its use in 2026 World Cup coverage.
