“Under Your Skin
There’s A Dry Land” volumes I & II contain an audio plethora of sublime
& angular tunes. At times guitar driven with synthesis backdrops , a singular
sonic vision permeates the ghostly proceedings in the arc of a night time
shadow of emotions “The Unpredictable
Love Song” features a Vox performance by Fedila K. that is somewhat reminiscent
of Dolores O'Riordan of the Cranberries. But this music is not flavored
Pop per say. A trip-hop agenda ruminates throughout the minor tinged exposition
“To Turn The
Page” gathers together a folk acoustic guitar backdrop with a hint of
subtle Chrissy Hyde echoed Vocal interplay “Silent & Wise”
has a post apocalyptic beauty to it, coupled with a neo-romantic & melancholy
bitter sweet Vocal. Vibrato effected & reverberated electric guitars add
a shimmering backdrop that is very complimentary to the mood. Paul Levis
performs slide guitar work in this cut, which is stupendous ‘Dancing On Your
Grave” takes a rhythmic pulsation into an industrial Trance mode, without
any of the repetitious vapidity of derivative acts of that genre. It is
that Idlewinter are aiming to take the music to some other level than
the banal. Some free form Reed & Horn accents lead credence to the musical
direction “Dew/ (Outro)” is like a sonic tapestry woven with Fadila K’s gentle & bewitching voice. She has a quality to her delivery that entrances a listener’s senses. This is the innate stamp that lights up the works of Idlewinter’s muse. Idlewinter create
a musical ambiance that is light beam tinged with sadness & majesty. The
magic & chemistry that Fadila K & Paul Levis conjure forth , is both unique
& enigmatic & deserves repeated listening to those with an adventurous
musical heart |
