Comment: Shannon Doll is a singer-songwriter who is being a part of Bloomington, the Indiana-based collective CLLCT which can be considered one of the most important DIY-related platforms worldwide. Doll provides a set of 9 songs which is filled in with pronounced intimacy, exhausting dreaminess and contemplative melancholy, though, she is apparently aware of the sequences of varying chords and tempo. Indeed, sometimes she used to infiltrate strummed string magic into an embodiment composed of fingerpicked chords. By the way, three compositions of the whole are nice cover versions (Bob Dylan`s Blowin`In The Wind, Tom Petty`s Wildflowers, and Paul Simon`s Duncan). Love it.
