Girl power
Interesting blend of voices, with an echo of something between Nina Persson and Tracey Thorn - not the kind of female voice that appeals to me personally, but with a very distinct timbre and colour that enhances the atmosphere of the songs. Their lower notes are sweet, showing perhaps the real "character" of the voice. Ethereal guitars and keyboards, robust but not overwhelming percussion. The lyrics are beautiful, some of the melodies "difficult" enough to make a difference.
It is one of the albums I found pleasant the first time I listened to them, but something in them made me return and notice even more elements and details that had escaped me before. There is internal power and architecture in this one, despite the first impression of daintiness and fluidity.
Shan Shui and Underwater Place are little gems.
