“Vorte” Flura Hepbird for the first time is amazing

Geography may have a great relationship whirlpool, The first full appearance album from Flora Hibberd, successfully achieved by many boxes. Hibberd is British but is currently based in Paris, and whirlpool It has been recorded in all places, or Claire, Wisconsin. This confluence of the unique sites may contribute to the world’s worldly voice and its ability to mix different patterns and approach smoothly while preserving a unique voice.

First things: Hibberd, who sings and plays on guitar and keyboards in the record, wrote all songs, and it appears as a result of a person drowned in encyclopedias full of pop music, rock and popular music. The compositions are great, attractive and ripe. With the help of a long-time collaborator, Victor Class (who also plays guitar and keyboards and bass), Flora Hepbird traveled to or Claire to record the album-follow her 2021 EP Hold – With producer Shin Leonard at his home studio. Although it may seem to be an unlikely location, Eau Claire is the Bon Iver’s birthplace from Justin Vernon, which is located between Green Bay and Minneapolis, and has become something of the independent nerve center.

While Leonard contributed to the devices whirlpoolHe also recruited the JT Bates (Bon Iver, Taylor Swift), the steel player in the pedal (Suffjan Stevens, the longest man on the ground), the Pat Kane’s guitarist, and the singer Je Sunde to overcome the sound. The result is a narrow and multi -use mixture that serves Hibberd songs very well. The start of the album is ART POP of “Auto ICON”, which includes Hibberd, the translator of the texts of the history of art, its interest in the lost words and signs. “There you go again,” sings. “Attach the meaning / reformulate the archives / this feeling.” In the choir, she sings, “Radio Memory / flows into the stormcloud / drink it.” Meanwhile, mix the band along with the angular, and the new wave confidence.

The European Hibberd periphery is likely to contribute to Jazzy, the universal, as “to become sacred from dimension”, saturated with a cold and detailed development that appears to be raised from another era, such as a recent chestnut discovered from Serge Bennburg or Scott Walker while Jack Brale Era. But once this song is over, Hibberd and its conspirators turn the key with the low attractive fun of the individual “code”, which continues to explore magic with symbols and decomposition. Mixing a volatile coil with Twangy, Hibberd and the band is located immediately. “How clear the last transmission camera that burns from your radio to mines,” sings. “I keep one ear on the line.” Warm corresponding production with random vocal anomalies, such as Kate Le Bon, produced Let it be.

There is a distinctive elegance for Flura Hepbrid. It is not bullets, but her singing exudes the wonderful development, whether it is with the people of “every accident” that was issued on the guitar “every accident that has left its mark”-adding delicious parts of the electric piano and guitar while hiking between the Nick Drake lines and the deep shell of Elliot Smith , Before descending into an unexpected code, or in the landscape of the luxurious country of “umbrella”, which remembers the aesthetics of the singer and classic singer with sound formats, its disarmament and the beautiful Leicester to provide the ideal parts of coloring.

Elsewhere, whirlpool Hibberd and the band find out various stylistic methods. “Jesse” is a psychological jewel feeding on hip, complete with rotational organ and triple but usual effects. “Lucky You” is driven by a wonderful post -evil slice with the guitar and trades that will not look in its place in an early album. “It is still not closer” takes a deep diving in tropical water with a relaxed atmosphere and a resonant guitar.

whirlpool Gently closes with “tickets”, as the sound of the vocal guitar is made to the elegant, delightful, drum, strange and cheerful stop. “You are a surprise to me,” Hibberd sings over and over again. Anyone who discovers the unfamiliar magic of what Flora Hepbird does in this amazing, absolute appearance will be surprised by the pleasure of the extent of these 11 tracks together. There is a blessing, eternity, delicate ear for Classic SongCraft, and production touches that wrap everything in the glorious bow. if whirlpool It does not end with a truck load of the best lists at the end of the year by December, there is little justice in the world. The record is an absolute masterpiece.
