Sóley: I'll Drown by morrmusic published on 2011-08-09T13:42:34Z After "Theater Island," last year's 6-track EP, Sóley returns with her first full-length, an album full of rhythmic makeshift creatures, of handclaps hidden in the undergrowth, tempting us to join in. The 13 tracks are sometimes incredibly catchy; amazingly quirky at other times: think cardigan-folk from the northern hemisphere, an ocean of stained glasses bopping up and down in the shared apartment's dishwater, leeward in limbo. The result is refreshing in its lack of edginess; think Joanna Newsom minus her harp, or the Casady sisters circa 2004, but then clearly better trained, less crooked. In other words: her voice, those loops moving around like wooden toys, and finally the piano – that's the backbone, the essence of her compositions; at least until some unexpected element appears elsewhere, a rhythmic creaking or the lack thereof, like a hidden Rube Goldberg machine, setting off yet another component, thus paving the way across the threshold and on into the next realm of sound. And thus we keep on sinking, deeper and deeper, until we stand on terra firma once again, realizing that somehow, next to us, above us, around us, a beat is laid out, hesitantly moving along at first, then careering… Comment by Warren Jeremy Rourke Isn't it beautiful. 2023-03-07T20:39:08Z Comment by Simo Arshara I love this kind of music! 2023-02-06T17:36:19Z Comment by cydoniaeon <3 2021-12-12T02:03:00Z Comment by ssortass Thanks !) so cool story, wonderfull ! 2020-07-09T06:05:19Z Comment by Roozbeh Amjadi mysterious voice! 2020-05-27T05:00:53Z Comment by Perish yes 2020-01-30T04:09:08Z Comment by Jirosj Good job ! 2017-01-20T22:07:29Z Comment by anikanyuszika one of my favourite songs :) 2016-12-18T10:06:25Z Comment by Novagolde great track! 2016-08-15T23:59:49Z Comment by Mayra Landin <3 2016-08-06T17:33:24Z Comment by Jazzkickerr Love this singer! =) 2016-01-20T04:39:47Z Comment by Alaa AlSherbini Haunting! ❤ 2015-08-13T21:25:09Z Comment by Basile Brun wahooooo 2015-05-18T01:40:12Z Comment by Nourkorë Makes me think of Will Graham everytime 2015-03-05T04:12:50Z Comment by A.T.B.:) In the video's I really dig the production. :) It reminds me off photography I'm doing in the darkroom. :) The song is beautiful. :) 2014-01-31T07:11:30Z Comment by Corey Zeimen 2 Sóley very good song.
