When the Music Speaks for Itself
Of course it is ironic to write a music review that urges ‘the music speaks for itself’, but it prompts me to avoid close analysis – or even just of some details – for an ambient sound that is more about emotive impact than anything else. It is pervasively melodic, and pervasively soothing – though this may reflect a need and experience I have felt today on this second listen. The collection of songs is also pervasively pretty, and this mainly in the sweeping play and tone of the violin by Alicia Enstrom; the occasional ethereal vocal/’voice’ from Deli Paloma-Sisk adds a substantial layer of calm to this. One specific observation: the partnership of synth and violin on Crystalline is sweetly sublime.
