Comment: Rachel Evans`6-track album is minimal yet sufficient enough to seduce the listener after a couple of listening sessions. Indeed, it is built on loops and ethereal (even a little bit haunting sounding like an exhausted witch in agony) vowel effects which are varied with suggestive electronic experiments, throbbing synth pulsations and gleaming lengthy chords. And those a little dirty hisses coming out of periphery are also loveable. Her aesthetics can be compared with the likes of H Stewart, Niobe, Chimney Fish, Julia Holter, Maria Minerva, for instance. In a word, her music can be tagged as a notch of contemporary Kosmische Musik or a sort of astral pop.
