Some things just happen. Darkness has long since fallen and a CD gets pressed into my hand. It contains three songs. Well, not so much songs as fragments of noise mixed with melody over the robotic rhythms typical of ambient electro.
“Jokes and Consequence” leads things off with ethereal sounds driven by the elemental forces of a voice more akin to a folk singer only this time lost in the reverb of a dystopian urban nightmare. Then on to “Why Birds?” Now we’re heading more in the direction of something European, perhaps something akin to a hybrid of the Cocteau Twins and PNDC and the words are surely guilty of poetic redirection as they evoke loneliness. “The Time Traveller” is initially industrial then more a post psychedelic mash of audio distortion that covers the retreat of her clean, clear voice into the distance.
Who is she? Where do her dreams come from?
