Free Music Review: Simply stunning album to warm your heart
Hit: 5 Stars
This was one of those albums that I heard one song off while driving late at night and had to dig around for a pen while driving to write down her name so I could go and buy the album the next day.
It is a quiet and beautiful album that is really touching, great to listen to loud with the lights turned down low. Check out the background sound at the start of the album which is the sound of a boat creaking against a dock. It has a real live sound to it as if you are just sitting in the room with her, a guitarist and an accordion player.
It reminds me a lot of Nick Drake's Pink Moon but without the depressing angle to it.
I find it to be a far superior album to her earlier Love In The Time Of Science as I think the earlier album suffers from trying to fill out her sound with a bit electronica backing with crappy beats which tends to make her sound like so many B-Grade emo-girl-pop types like Dido, it comes off sounding like a bad version of Hooverphonic The Magnificent Tree. It also sounds like her endearing quirky voice was flattened out to sound like a generic female American vocalist.
So if you want a really relaxing, stripped back, acoustic, honest, revealing, haunting, quirky album and bares many a re-listen this is it, it goes up there next to Nick Drake's Pink Moon.Pink Moon
Fishermans Woman Poster
"Home alone and happy / Nothing brings me down" So opens Emiliana Torrini?s second album, a soft-yet-searing collection of twelve intimate and atmospheric songs that will whisper their way into your bloodstream. Back in 1999, when the singer released the critically acclaimed Love In The Time Of Science, Emiliana came out with a gorgeous, electronic trippoppin? vision of endless summer and moonlit nights out. Following her departure from One Little Indian, there?s a new introspection, closer to Nick Drake or Jolie Holland than Portishead or Goldfrapp. The 27-year-old singer and writer has nonetheless been busy since Love In The Time Of Science. She moved to Brighton, joined the cast of Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers to perform the enchanting ?Gollum Song? wrote and toured with Thievery Corporation, and wrote a Number One Hit for Kylie Minogue in the shape of huge-selling pop smash "Slow."Alternative Rock Music CDs
