The sophomore album for Toronto-based singer-songwriter Lisa Bozikovic is a soothing collection of songs projected by her smoky, sultry alto, intertwined with delicate instrumentals that fuses synth pop with piano, strings and woodwinds.Recurring themes of dreams, water, weather and intimacy create the framework for Bozikovic's song, the majority of which display fluidity, impeccable musicianship and sonic intricacies that keep the listener engaged despite its slow tempo. The contrast between the synthesizers and traditional instruments creates interest and are combined cohesively, particularly on tracks like "Midnight Ice" and "No Monument." However, the overall pace of the album can be tedious at times, with Bozikovic's vocals rarely wavering in pace or tone. vueweekly.com comments: powered by Disqus
