Cinematic, sprawling songs that unfurl patiently and meander through ethereal layers of sound. Love and restlessness in the desert. Vocals sound like a mix of Emily Haines, Elizabeth Powell from Land of Talk, and Julia Holter. RIYL Julia Holter, Land of Talk, Jesse Sykes & the Sweet Hereafter, Marissa Nadler Favorites: 1, 2, 4, 7, 8 FCC Clean 1. (5:00) *Of Dust & Matter — Slow, eerie piano and languorous vocals. Freak folk. Reminiscent of Marissa Nadler. Lyrics about being passed out on the kitchen floor. Keyboards increase in urgency and variations at 3:20. 2. (4:07) ***I’ll Stall Them — More of a groove with her voice. She sounds like the vocalist from U.S. Girls here. Strings and synths come in at the middle. Grand and orchestral in a melancholic way. 3. (5:14) Faultlines — Uptempo. Fast keyboards and rushing sounds. Urgent and motorik with the repetitiveness of the keyboards. 4. (4:09) *The Crawl — Alt-country slow-burner. Opens with a mostly instrumental electric guitar and piano intro. Shuffling drums come in at 1:30. Concludes with a softer version of the same guitar line from the beginning. 5. (2:26) Send Me Home — Elegiac piano ballad with some synths in the latter half. 6. (2:56) Through the Cellar Door — Starts off slow and explodes into fast percussion and driving electric guitar at 0:50. Alternates between quieter and louder passages, especially marked by changes in the guitar line and drums. 7. (6:26) *Beings — Aquatic keyboards. Heavy reverb and layers of ethereal sounds. Like a more cinematic Julia Holter. 8. (4:23) *Stepping Down — Heavy, dreamy ambience punctuated by a repetitive synth melody. Eerie. 9. (4:35) Stuck for an Outline — Midtempo. Nice chiming guitars and some strings. Grows in restlessness until the end. 10. (1:52) Inkblot — Instrumental track. | ||
