The second album from Rachael Hughes and Nathan Shineywater melts over you like a warm summer breeze. Reverb-soaked vocals float over some wonderfully phrased wurly piano and comfortably subtle percussion. The lyrics may be abstract hippie gibberish ("With silver cloud came a rainfall, with rain made a river come all for you"), but this doesn't mar the record's beauty. The definite highlight is the ten-and-a-half minute "Star Blanket River Child" wherein the band find a chilled out, dynamic groove, reminiscent of 1968's Super Session featuring Al Kooper with Mike Bloomfield and Stephen Stills - but somewhat more subdued.
Get ready to spin it all summer long!
