Glass Rock: Tall Firs Meets Soft Location

Ecstatic Peace have a busy release schedule this Autumn, part of which is this collaboration between Tall Firs and Soft Location. I liked Tall Firs’ 2008 album Too Old To Die Young. This doesn’t quite work as well; on the plus side, Soft Location’s Kathy Leisen has a haunting voice that’s part Cat Power and part Siouxsie Sue. Her voice and the light psych-pop arrangements sound fine on ‘Ghost of A Dream’, with its Jefferson Airplane echoes, but Van Morrison-esque jazzy rhythms predominate, especially on the title track. The effect is very pastoral, very settled and, well, just a bit drowsy-dull.
