Hannigan 第三張專輯《At Swim》撇開以往愉悅歡樂的風格，立下了創作的轉折，帶著更深沉、裸實的聲音及樣子，由第一曲"Fall"配著餘音繚繞的回音、輕巧的撥弦，不失始終的輕柔美麗，沉穩地步出一張溫柔婉約的專輯。她將精緻的鋼琴旋律如呈現支支芭蕾舞般帶上音樂舞台，樸實卻深刻;綿綿的人聲、伸縮自如的音域，如河流上載浮載沉的小船，輕輕地邀請聽眾們一同搭上。

First single "Fall" sets the mood early on – a delicate acoustic torch song with soft echoes of electric guitar that allows Hannigans voice to the fore with a stripped back approach typical of the record as a whole. The album maintains a consistent sonic pallet with the following tracks, "Prayer for the Dying" is an orchestral exploration of the grief of losing a long-time partner while "Lo" builds to a hypnotic refrain from a simple guitar figure and Hannigans plaintive vocals.

Its clear that this is most Hannigans most understated collection of songs thus far and while it might not be as immediate or joyful as her earlier work, there are still moments of undeniable beauty to be found here. "Ora" is a delicate piano ballad with Hannigans voice floating over the keys, angelic as ever, while "We, The Drowned" comes to life with a soaring chorus. "Anahorish" is a short acapella that could double as a hymn and is nothing short of heavenly. Hannigan proves she is interested in breaking new ground on these tracks and they are some of the most beguiling on the record.
