Music review: Skye and Ross: ‘Light of Gold’
It无毛视频檚 aways good to venture outside your comfort zone from time to time.
This rule also applies to musical tastes. With so many albums of various styles released every week, it无毛视频檚 easy to allow a few gems to slip through the cracks and into permanent obscurity. But not this particular week.
Prior to my recent trip to see Jonny Lang and Buddy Guy perform in Mississippi, I discovered a new album that changed the way I thought about electronica.
Twenty years after Morcheeba无毛视频檚 debut release, members Skye Edwards and Ross Godfrey embark together to pursue new musical interests.
The duo无毛视频檚 debut release found its way onto my playlist with low expectations.
After a first listen, I was quickly drawn toward the absorbing offering that blends various musical styles of trip-hop, pop, blues and electronica into one unique sound.
无毛视频淟ight of Gold无毛视频� is the album无毛视频檚 stripped-down first single that comes across effortlessly and comforting with the help of Edwards无毛视频� dreamy vocals that simply steal the show.
A cosmic vibe ushers in 无毛视频淗ow to Fly无毛视频� as the number transitions into Talking Heads mode on the engaging track with Godfrey无毛视频檚 guitar solo unexpectedly interrupting the hypnotic beat.
无毛视频淐lear My Head无毛视频� and 无毛视频淗ead Home无毛视频� are haunting tracks that architect an acoustic aura of beauty previously delivered by Ann and Nancy Wilson on classic Heart tracks like 无毛视频淒reamboat Annie无毛视频� and 无毛视频淒og & Butterfly.无毛视频�
A sense of surreal beauty surrounds 无毛视频淗old On无毛视频� and makes it a perfect fit for any David Gilmour or Kate Bush album.
无毛视频淔eet First无毛视频� pulsates and seduces as Edwards delivers a vocal performance reminiscent of Donna Summer on her vintage disco track 无毛视频淚 Feel Love.无毛视频�
无毛视频淭he Point of No Return无毛视频� methodically brings the 10-song set to a gracious close with Edwards announcing, 无毛视频淚 have crossed the river/Past the point of no return.无毛视频�
I know the feeling well. After listening to this captivating creation, a new band and musical style have been permanently added to my music catalog.
