Album Name: Beauty?
Artist: Sound of the Blue Heart
Year/Label: 2006 / Triple X Records
This record has a very haunting quality to it. The vocals often sound like they’re right up in your ear whispering. It’s a cool effect. But after repeated listens I find it’s a bit affected. A little too Bowie-wanna-be, look how creepy I am-ish. But it’s still pretty cool. It is reminiscent of some great 80s pop-ambient stuff like The Church.
The songs are well written and interesting. I like it, I just am not real wordy about it. Good rainy day music.
