Mesmeric, meditative, mercurial – an experimental, dream-like release by the London trio of singer and multi-instrumentalist Cathy Lucas, drummer Valentina Magaletti and bassist Susumu Mukai with folky electronica, minimalism, cosmic post-punk and psychedelic pop. The title track is a woozy mix of beats, riff and vocals, wonderfully vivid and strange. Ripples of strings, percussion and electronica abound, and Lucas often sings as if she herself is an instrument, particularly on Lazy Garden, Lotus Easy, and the buzzy oddness of Brain Weather. The Down Below enters a more psychedelic world of avant-gardism, while Marbles is a surreal form of offbeat funk, while closing track Subito is a quieter, more meditative form of minimalism. Compelling, gentle and otherworldly. Out on Fire Records.
