Rigil “Concertina Heart”: Ambient electronica/pop. Soft male vox layer on top of calm snare percussion & electronic roaming. Good for deep thoughts and heartfelt making out. I must admit, I found the lyrics quite trite, but the wandering instrumentation fits the ambient label well. Album is by a 20 yr old – Robert Slade – from a small English village. No FCCs detected basil 1) slow, paced ambient song; soft vox, occasional chimes; end fades out to just vox 2) *electronica noise ebbs & flows behind soft vox – quite epic 3) waving synth, hushed snare, spoken lyrics; some electronic bubbly reverb & chirping 4) *choppy piano chord’s a la Thom Yorke’s “Eraser”; punk-y vocals; electric guitar 5) * retreating synth, powerful droning, odd clicking; powerful ambient shit – no vox here 6) heavy bass and synth; soft, almost female vox; boings of some sort repeat in the background 7) *Layers of his own chanting topped by his boyish voice; screeching guitar joins 8) **epic instrumental, slow-paced with nice simple piano build 9) noise filled, slow track with dramatic vocals 10) * Simple, slow song “your mind is a mine-field, I have to watch my tongue” | ||
