weaselgrand It's an album that has craft, variety and heart - a rare mix to achieve. I loved the Delgados, but this goes beyond what they achieved. Bravo:) Favorite track: Intermission.

about

A mere five and a half years after the angular splendidness of her Chemikal solo debut 'The Law of Large Numbers', Emma's finally delivered, not only its follow-up, but an album that's up there with the very best in our catalogue. Clocking in at just under 45 minutes, the eleven tracks making up 'In Search of Harperfield' showcase Emma's songwriting at its richly lyrical best.

From the string-drenched grandeur of 'Intermission' and 'Dark Skies', through the leftfield pop of 'Parks and Recreation' and 'Vacant Stare' to the complex, dark flamboyance of 'Old Ghosts' and 'Monster In The Pack' (replete with RM Hubbert cameo) 'In Search of Harperfield' effortlessly scales the peaks of her tenure with The Delgados while recalling the eccentric flair of Kate Bush, the intricate melodicism of Sandy Denny and, in Old Ghosts, the wistful melancholy of Dusty Springfield. Yes, it's that good.

Five and a half years is a long time in anyone's book; that such a special album has finally materialised out of the gloaming should give us all cause for celebration.

Five and a half years though, man alive...

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über. https://tortue.substack.com/i/140348114/slowdive-everything-is-alive-dead-oceans Daniel Welsch

Well, does it live up to the hype? It's okay, not as good as 'Loops' or the 'Fenella' stuff; i doubt i'll be listening to it in full very often. Her mojo is waneing in my 'umble opinion. vykr
