Free Music Notes for Nine Lucid Dreams (Dig)
Free Music Review: Will be loved and cherished by many!
Hit: 5 Stars
I think this album has the perfect title - 'Nine Lucid Dreams' - because throughout listening, you almost feel as if your in a dreamlike state. It creates all these visions throughout your mind that sweep and soar around your thoughts. You can picture every word being sung, and it verges on strange, but the kind of strange that you find yourself fascinated by and must get closer to if given the chance to have a more in depth look at it. Though it may not be for everyone (as some just might not get it) I have no doubts it will be loved and cherished by many!
Album opener "Sunset Room" is a sleek, sultry and melodic little number. Bellowing in like wind through a window, the tempo enchants and teases slowing building. They do quite well to give listeners something they've never heard before and it's quite evident that vigorous amounts of body and soul went into putting this together. I like the light and airiness of this; you could easily sit back and listen to this over and over. It does well to set the mood and tone for the rest of the album; this is definitely one of my favourites already, with its sensuous expansions, just simply gorgeous!
"Monkey" bounces in next, it instantly creates a sunny rumba like atmosphere, its perfect listening for the summer season. At times the tempo and vocals remind me a bit of Sheryl Crow's "All I Wanna Do", just because they both attain that infectious beat that you can't help but dance alongside to. The background itself is one not to be ignored, presenting itself in a very poppy and ambient way that easily sweeps you up, drowning your senses in the track.
Following on is "Waiting" which is simply stunning, the deep rich tones of the vocals melt like chocolate and you can't help but fall for them endlessly. For a song like this, you really need vocals that can bring the emotion of the song alive and this is exactly what they do here. As the song plays on it seems to unfold and expand in all these different and most colourful ways, showing great depth.
"Strongest Man in the World" is one that starts off slow, but builds to this brilliant rhythm that I quite like. It catches you off guard and keeps you wondering what will pop up next. The pitter patter of the drums in the background, give this marching like quality to the song during the beginning then just seem to explode as the chorus comes in. This is one that might at first seem too slow for some, but is definitely worth hanging on till the chorus comes in, as that's where the true beauty of the song comes alive.
Next in is "Marietta", a little darker sounding at first compared to the others. This doesn't have the typical over-used tempo that many songs tend to have; this is choppier which I find more interesting. Somewhat of a story line appears here as well, which creates great cinematics in the mind whilst listening. Good stuff!
"Dixie it Up!" takes you on a journey back in time and this suits Sarah's vocal tones to a tee. They dance alongside the backdrop which is charming all on its own. This is a really lovely treat to find on this album and its one you'll find yourself playing more than once as good things come to an end far too quickly!
Lastly here is "Stand on Your Head" and I absolutely love the backdrop to this one, for me it stands out more than anything. There's a purity that seeps in Sarah's vocals, but at the same time, you could quite believe that she could sing anything she set her heart on no matter what it was. The haunting enchantment of this seems to softly sing me to sleep, gently bellowing out to a close; really lovely and worth many listens.
There are some songs on this album that have a more filler like quality to them, but are worth a listen despite this. Two Loons for Tea seems to shine brighter when the songs have a bouncier tempo to them. Sarah's voice flies high to soar above the clouds and you really get more of a feel for what you're listening to. This album takes you on a journey of lush soundscapes and heartfelt moments. If you're like me, you can appreciate the differences and non-conventional direction this album takes on, it's completely unexpected, but warmly welcomed. It would be interesting now, to go and listen to previous works to get a feel for how they've changed or evolved! I think this is a charming yet peculiar album, that will reach out in some way to those who have a listen!
