Comment: it is nice to hear
Joan Elisabeth Kelly's sonic experiments and poppy expressions at
full sway. Undoubtedly it is a blissful, groovy and heady view on pop
music at its best sense. Since the times back in the beginning of the
10s with the onset of such genres as chillwave and witch house the
status of ambient music has been changed from the so-called design
music to a subject for more melody and harmony-trodden endeavours
even if the main theme was dark. Yeah, this 11-track outing hits the
way cruising somewhere between profound ambient and more recognised,
more comfortable themes. In its most ultimate potentiality – the
listener can perceive it during some spans of a few seconds – it
could have been ended at a nightmarish threshold over which line
unsound fantasies come into one's mind. The aforementioned
comfortable themes are all but cheap, self-indulgent ones because
they do have intrinsic potentiality for transgressive, ominous
mutations. Given the topic of the album it refers also to the doings
by a human being both individually and collectively – we have
potentiality to build up something beautiful and on the other side we
can all screw up. It is full of determined noises, intriguing dynamic
rhythms and vivid sonic effects which together make up an
irresistible punch of sonic waves. For instance, listen to a track,
the favourite of mine,
Harm, by giving contemplation about a time to
come when such a sort of song would hit the charts.
