Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell

Torrez’ new album is seductively dark and haunting. The bands sound is not so far from Mazzy Star’s and singer Kim Torres is a siren in the same style as Hope Sandoval.

“After the Carnival” is more than a little spooky. It would make a suitable soundtrack to a classic film noir. Kim Torres” voice is at its most lovely here.

“Forage Your Way” is a quiet song with a sad feel. Kim Torres and Sidney Alexis” guitars work well together.

“Final Fantasy” is a stunning song with a glorious melody and some of Torres’ most heart-rending singing.

“The Evening Sun” uses cello to unusual and inspired effect.

It’s a fantastic album that should give Torrez many new fans.
