Broensted and companyΓΓé¼Γäós skill at fashioning atmospheres is stronger than ever on Golden Sea, from the somber, rippling pianos on ΓΓé¼┼ôThe DepartureΓΓé¼┬¥ that conjure a moonlit journey, to the hidden final song that glows like an aurora borealis. Nearly every track feels like itΓΓé¼Γäós swathed in fog, and on songs such as ΓΓé¼┼ôIn the Lowlands,ΓΓé¼┬¥ Broensted's vocals remain one with the mist surrounding them. While her voice is lovely, her melodies stay in a safe, similar range instead of scaling highs and lows -- an approach that extends to much of Golden Sea. Yet, just when it feels like the album has receded into the background for good, something intriguing pulls it back into focus: the hand drums and Middle Eastern-tinged melisma on ΓΓé¼┼ôNightsongΓΓé¼┬¥ or the distant electro-toms on the oddly cheery ΓΓé¼┼ôThe Burial.ΓΓé¼┬¥ Our Broken Garden reaps even richer rewards whenever the band ventures into more daring territory: ΓΓé¼┼ôThe Fiery and LoudΓΓé¼┬¥ isnΓΓé¼Γäót particularly fiery or loud, but its yearning mood and fairy-tale melody give it urgency and drama, while ΓΓé¼┼ôGarden GrowΓΓé¼┬¥ is a surprisingly sexy standout with a stomping, Goldfrapp-esque beat and visceral lyrics like ΓΓé¼┼ôrip my heart out if you have toΓΓé¼┬¥ and ΓΓé¼┼ôthrow me naked on the floor.ΓΓé¼┬¥ All the elements of Our Broken Garden's sound are promising on Golden Sea, but Broensted and crew are still learning to move beyond subtle, hypnotic music and toward something more dynamic. http://dickthespic.org/2010/11/29/our-broken-garden/ Sharing Widget |
