Voices Voices – Origins (Review)

Voices Voices

Origins

Released by Manimal Records


Listening to Voices Voices is like being back in the womb; it’s warm yet occasionally haunting and there are voices present, but sometimes they just cannot be deciphered. However, if the womb thing were literal, then listeners could hardly be held accountable (seeing as how they have yet to learn anything about language, Teletubbies or not being submerged in embryonic fluid).

Somewhat reminiscent of the song "Daffy Duck" from the bands 2005 studio album Feels. Fall Be Kind has much of the experimental and psychedelic charm that fans of the Animal Collective sound have grown ...

Night on Earth – Second Hand (Review)

Night On Earth

Second Hand

Released by Sony


Emotive and swathed in haunting lyrics of heartbreak and loneliness, Second Hand, the sophomore release from the Athens-based Night on Earth, mesmerizes. Sofia Sarri’s voice could slice glass, operatic and delicate, as she sings in Greek and English. “Glosses tou Kampou,” which translates to “languages of the field,” is an achingly beautiful opener and primer of what’s to come. “Lafira” winds into downtempo territory, and some decidedly disturbed lyrics emerge through the feedback on “Crocus”: “I felt my body freeze but my mind was burning/A nightingale’s lullaby echoing in ...
