Enchanting, soothing new ambient abum by the wonderful Smany
I’ve been a fan of Smany’s for six or seven years now, ever since when she started to put up her freely downloadable albums on the Internet. She creates a magic world of dreamy sounds, pensive noise and whispering songs with emphasis on the silent space in between.
She’s given us three such albums in the past years, and her new album To Lie Latent is the first which is also available in physical form, for money (it’s also on Spotify).
The songs on it are rearrangements, reinventions and revisions of a couple of songs on her first albums, but they still sound like new work, with a fresh approach.
Smany is one of the best ambient musicians, right up there with the likes of Brian Eno and David Sylvian, as far as I’m concerned. So I highly recommend this enchanting, soothing new album. (PB)
