Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell

From the isle of Sardinia we have the unusual trio Chirleison. Vocalist Alessia Cicala sings in a heavenly voice and her partners Mara Lasi and Daniele Serra adds backing.

Their gentle folk meets gothic music is always compelling on this debut.

The title track is a somber reverie that lets Cicala’s voice dominate while Serra’s guitar adds texture.

“Canzone per Anceo” is a delicate hymn-like song with beautiful singing.

“I Doni” is another solemn and gorgeous song.

“Réveil” with singing in French is a classic-sounding sublime moment.

Chirleison’s debut is a wondrous thing.
