█░:RELEASE NOTES_ ░█
█ █
█ :Review by terrarelicta.com (score 7/10)_ █
█ █
█ The beautiful siren Erin Welton and multiinstrumentalist Scott █
█ Ferrell, united under the name Autumn's Grey Solace, are back █
█ with a new album. Windumµra features eight new tracks and is █
█ already the ninth album for this North American duet who started █
█ their career in 2000. Already with their debut, Within The Depths █
█ Of A Darkened Forest, and then even more with the next couple of █
█ albums, especially with masterpieces like Ablaze and Riverine, █
█ Autumn's Grey Solace became one of the most influential acts █
█ inside this rather narrow and somehow mysterious genre called █
█ ethereal wave. Erin with her beautiful tender coloratura soprano █
█ voice style is one of a kind singer, as well Scott nicely █
█ manipulates the guitar and other instruments to create some kind █
█ of a magical fantasy sonic experience. █
█ █
█ To tell the truth, a follow up to their in 2014 released █
█ Monajjfyllen, is one of the most difficult albums from this duo █
█ to get it through. The dream pop element that was so very present █
█ on Ablaze for example is present just in fragments, also those █
█ meditative dense atmospheres and catchy prolific passages are not █
█ here as we were used to hear from them. Rather than that on █
█ Windumµra there's much more emphasis on drifting and sparkling █
█ guitar sound, in a way the atmospheric guitar lines are a bit █
█ similar to early The Cure, Cocteau Twins and as well early Dead █
█ Can Dance. Most of the songs on this album are still a bit less █
█ atmospheric than on their previous works, but are a bit darker █
█ and psychedelic, I can say even dramatic, there's much more █
█ connection with retro wave and dark wave than ever before, some █
█ passages are smelling almost post-punkish to say at least. So, █
█ the minus is that the shoegaze elements are rather left behind or █
█ pushed in the backwards, the same it's with their trademark █
█ romantic pop side, but thankfully not entirely and that's █
█ perfectly heard on one of the albums highlight "Slßhhyll". █
█ █
█ Erin is a vocal virtuoso and thanks to her amazing singing █
█ tecnique songs and words behind them get almost an otherwordly █
█ dimension. Her voice is very emotive, it brings calmness and █
█ pushes you in a meditative state of mind while nicely glazing █
█ through these soundscapes. All of the songs are pouring softly █
█ from one to another, but the listener must be in a certain state █
█ of mind to properly absorb what this album offers, otherwise you █
█ can get bored because the whole thing, while still being pretty █
█ airy, is a bit too much linear, minimalistic, sometimes almost █
█ too gentle and without necessary more evident ups and downs that █
█ would make it evem more multidimensional, perhaps also more █
█ luminous. █
█ █
█ Windumµra is a soothing listening experience, pretty chilly, it █
█ might let your imagination flow, it opens doors into magical █
█ world. Just listen to mesmerizing last two songs to get the █
█ point, the cinematic romantic "Hµrfestwµta" and rather more █
█ bouyant closing one "Ymbe". I can't tell you a lot about the █
█ lyrics as they are pretty much unintelligible, but judging from █
█ the titles I think that are about ethereal stuff, nature and █
█ talking about a fantasy world. Windumµra holds inside some kind █
█ of sadness, melancholy, yet it brings stillness, but only if you █
█ fully devote yourself as it's a very demanding listening █
█ experience. I still prefer their earlier works, but it's obvious █
█ that Autumn's Grey Solace show some kind of progression with █
█ every consequent release by shifting more and more into organic █
█ sound of instruments. Windumµra is an enjoyable album, it's █
█ mystical, but not for everybody. █
