(2015) Flo Morrissey - Tomorrow Will Be Beautiful [FLAC,Tracks] {100.XY}

Review:
Twenty-year-old Londoner Flo Morrissey’s debut album Tomorrow Will Be Beautiful, produced in LA by Noah Georgeson (Joanna Newsom, Devendra Banhart) and Philippe Zdar (Phoenix), is a beautiful confection burgeoning with musical ideas, modulations and textures, and her voice has both the agility of youth and a depth beyond her years.
The swooping, acoustic guitar-backed opener Show Me has clear echoes of Kate Bush; elsewhere, Cat Power or Newsom are evoked. The romantic string arrangements on standout tracks such as Betrayed or Wildflower place them somewhere between contemporary folk and 60s pop; the harmonies on Woman of Secret Gold might call to mind Harriet Wheeler of the Sundays to some; the chimes and cello accompaniment on the closing title track leave you wanting more.

If You Can’t Love This All Goes Away’ seems like a soulfully sweet tune, but underneath it all there is some atmospheric guitar dissonance giving fair warning before the chorus intervenes with its swirling strings. Shifting between major and minor, a chorus made for radio and a meandering collection of verses and bridges, this is an off-kilter soul tune to die for. Basically, it’s all over the place. There’s no easy way to describe it and yet at the end of it all it contrives to make perfect modern-pop sense.
