This must be the most song-based record I’ve bought in a long time. Roxanne’s voice is strong and clear, with clean production and right up front in the mix. I find it rather compelling. Sometimes she’s singing over simple neoclassical piano lines; sometimes over a synth drone and some minimal strings; sometimes there is a very slow and low-key stripped-down shoe-gaze percussion line. I was tempted to call this dream-pop, but on reflection most of the album strays way more into the modern classical realm than that would suggest. Anyway, it’s warm and lovely and also clever and moving and generally smashing.
I bought this from Boomkat. They call it Modern Classical / Ambient and Folk / Roots.
