ISLET - CD SOFT FASCINATION

Popis - SOFT FASCINATION:
The Welsh group's 2023 full-length is an ecstatic experience in
music, an explosion of emotion subsumed in sound. The album is
filled with high energy cadence and meditations on collective
joy, a balancing act underpinned with glorious melodies and
Emma Daman Thomas' evocative vocals that swirl in the symphonic
surf. Self-produced, and with instruments recorded live with
few overdubs, the effect is direct, veering from the upfront
and immediate to the spacious and challenging. The first half
is intentionally fast, intense, almost relentless. The second
half is more spacious, as the album unravels and becomes more hazy.
