Sun Visor

Friday, July 5th sees our release of an absolutely beautiful new album from midwest composer/vocalist Elska (Laura Boland). With its modern classical influences, and it’s overall extremely sensitively performed and delicately nuanced tones, it is a distinctly pleasant departure from some of our more recent, darker releases. Her softly subdued and breathy vocalizations lend themselves perfectly to the mysterious and elegiac eleven melodies that comprise the album. Throughout this record she takes us on a nostalgic and at times ethereal voyage through a world where the beauty walks hand in hand with an at times somewhat disjointed and yet seemingly completely natural strangeness. With occasional pseudo liturgical impressions, and a wonderful use of field recordings, strings, chimes and other instrumentation, she achieves here a real and grandiose grasp on what it means to live, love and breath through ones music.
