Kara-Lis Coverdale: From Where You Came review | Safi Bugel's experimental album of the month
Stirring motifs fill the spacious settings on the Montreal musician’s first album in eight years, building a blend of modern classical, jazz and new age
On standout Flickers in the Air at Night, a spritely melodybubbles through a wash of atmospheric synths and strings; Daze perfectly captures a feeling of sweet melancholy in its gorgeous Balearic-ready woodwind trills. Though her grave vocals match the gloomy, almost eerie, quality of the composition, the lyrics are more corny than evocative: “I’m sorry life is beautiful.” Still, it does little to detract from the world Coverdale has built, one that’s focused and full of feeling. Land’s End Eternal(Leaving Records) is a warm amble through floaty ambient textures and silky sax lines, wrapped up with a shimmering nine-minute closer.
