Austel (aka Devon-born London-based artist and producer Annie Rew Shaw) reworks her EPs ‘Unfold’ and ‘Cold Love’ into intimate, ethereal piano versions on new album, ‘Feathers’.

Influenced by the ambient textures of Jon Hopkins, brooding piano ballads of Nick Cave, and subtly powerful compositions of Olafur Arnalds, ‘Feathers’ flows as a seamless body of work. The otherworldly atmospherics and layers of piano and strings are laced with soporific substance, forming a hypnotic soundscape. 

Front and centre is Austel’s vocal: unguarded and intimate, but still possessing a dynamic power and depth. The songs are laced with her signature ghostly backing vocals drenched in reverb, contributing to the ‘haunting’ nature of her work. 

Some songs have been totally transformed into instrumental versions, whereas others invite the listener to hear the lyrics in a whole new light. The album ends with a brand new release: a lulling cover of ‘Horses In My Dreams’ by PJ Harvey, rich with swelling cello harmonies.

Stinking Ship

Kapok Part 2

I never gonna care about my age
but it's a turn around

I don't wanna chain my self again
so  it's a turn around

I just don't know why
the rules of game had change again
then it's a turn around

Don't you think it twice
turn around and say goodbye
Noone can't remind your rules
and noone realy wanna do for you

We only have to live and die 
sometimes we fight each other now

How long we go 
When everything will over
Where is a turn around
Where is a turn around

I Never gonna much to loose
I really wanna know the truth
I don't wanna live forever and ever more

Phonggi (actually a decent song)
