Album Review
Your Imaginary Friend
Reviewed 2014-08-14
Solo act, female with cello performs slow dark brooding compositions with morose vocal stylings. Haunting and hypnotic. Completely self recorded, released and sent specifically to KZSU. She routinely performs on the streets of NYC. For fans of Cat Power, Faun Fables, Grouper, and especially Deletist (more recently Das Blut). Really nice stuff. Pick any really.

1) (4:05) quiet and slow
2) (5:28) pensive cello
3) (3:59) slow cello w/ operatic high vocs
4) (2:48) low register cello, dark
5) (3:38) vocs doubled up with cello
6) (5:43) brighter feel w/ octaves
7) (6:45) pitzicatto, simple plucking and more complex melodies in vocs
8) (6:01) sparse low note pitz
9) (6:37) cool bendy notes, pitz
10) (3:38) percussive hits on cello
11) (9:05) percussiveness intensifies, dominates w/ melodies
12) (5:44) higher register, very pretty
13) (6:11) almost upbeat, faster than rest, love song
