Rose Bolton - The Lost Clock [Cassauna / Important Records]

Scheduled for release via Cassauna / Important Records on May 28th, 2k21 is "The Lost Clock", the latest, four tracks and 36 minutes spanning longplay outing created by Toronto-based composer Rose Bolton who's been active on the Canadian circuit for more than two decades, fusing both elements of electronic and classical music in her work. This said, the opening tune "Unsettled Souls" caters an ever so slowly evolving array of comforting Ambient hums and drones reminiscent of a small rotor propelled aeroplane passing by at quite a distance on a calm and hot summers day, providing the backdrop for brittle, glassy and reverberating, spatial chimes whereas the subsequent cut "The Lost Clock" explores a still Ambient-leaning, fragile, yet more outerworldly and transdimensional, washed out and blurry sonic realm bound to strange, psychoactive dream worlds or parallel universes even. Furthermore a "Starless Night" is indeed as calm, angelic and beautiful as it gets in the wee hours and defo a track that is, especially due to its dynamic range and undeniably Cosmic- / Berlin School-influenced sonic story-telling, one that is best consumed on headphones or, if alone, through a high end speaker system to get the very most out of its carefully arranged minimalism before "The Heaven Mirror" waves goodbye in a tender, yet dramatic and touching Piano Ambient fashion, connecting contemporary Electronic Music, (Neo)Classical and swirling Synth arrangements created by the genres early pioneers in a masterful fashion. One to check out for a reason.
