Love Spirals Downwards Album: Ardor Label: Projekt Latest from an LA area duo that uses ethereal (but always comprehensible) female vocals, with a mix of very strummy acoustic sounding guitar, and heavily processed quasi-symphonic string-like sounds. They often use multiple overlayed tracks of female vocals, producing harmonies that are pretty but not syrypy. I've listened to this straight through three times now, and I can't tell you if it's Great, but I can tell you it's really, really, really Nice. No bad tracks, some favorites indicated below: Basic Ethereal "Gothic": 3. 4:40 "Write in Water" - strummy/folky 7. 3:30 "I Could Find It Only By Chance" - A bit spacier. 8. 4:40 "Kykeon" - Pensive. 9. 4:40 "Depression Glass" - Guitar strumming. Like 2 women alternating lines. 11. 4:25 "Tear Love From My Mind" - With melancoly spanishesque guitar More rock sounding: 1. 4:20 "Will You Fade" - somewhat Lush like 6. 4:22 "Subsequently" - light folk sound, alternates with more rockish 5. 4:02 "Mirrors in a Still Sky" - no vocals. Vaugely Medieval 2. 5:32 "Sidhe" - Overlayed female chants. Beautiful. 4. 4:05 "Avincenna" - like medieval folk. More Ambient: 10. 5:46 "Sunset Bell" - Very spacey, loopy piece, some vox, no lyrics Contact info: Projekt Box 1591 Garden Grove, CA 92642 Love Spirals Downwards 2357 Bolar Industry, CA 91745
