Description
Montréal post-rock luminary Rebecca Foon (Esmerine, Thee Silver Mt. Zion, Set Fire To Flames) is joined by award-winning violinist Aliayta Foon-Dancoes for a soundtrack of atmospheric post-classical chamber music on which the sisters play cello and violin respectively, along with piano by both. This debut full-length collaboration, produced by Jace Lasek (The Besnard Lakes, Patrick Watson, Godspeed You! Black Emperor), is suffused with immersive full-spectrum resonance and spaciousness, tinted with subtle electronic touches and gently blown-out acoustics. Balancing swirling lushness and contemplative solemnity, Reverie is at once cinematically wide-screen and intimately introspective, flowing with a poignant melodic lyricism throughout. This consummate sibling duo unfolds a sumptuous suite of thematic variations that interweave meditative pastoralism with the underlying despair and tragedy of ecocide. For fans of Ólafur Arnalds, Rachels, Hildur Guðnadóttir, Library Tapes/Julia Kent, Esmerine.
