Good album

21/05/11

An amazing set of beautiful sounds, amazing drifts in-between those sonic pannels I have always loved - from shoegaze to dream-filled, even melancholic notches (dark folk/rock/ethereal pop), resembles of such bands as Cocteau Twins, Jane Siberry, Love Spiral Downwards, (even Portishead) and many others. Very beautiful accomplishment indeed.

Awesome The harmonies had me hooked from the first listen

I discovered this band on Last.FM ( well actually They recommended themselves to me ! ) When I first heard Midsummer Fires I knew that this band was something special . Then the song Remains of the day.
WOW ! The lyrics and vocals are exceptional and their whole style is exceptional to this genre.
I have been a fan ever since.
The music is very dreamy but what I like most is that it seems to draw me to some other place and time .
Some of the bass lines in these tracks are just awesome mixed with guitar that almost sounds Jazzy and vocals that have some very beautiful harmonies ,This band will seduce you if you like the dreampop or chillout genres even remotely .
I can't get enough of their music and am hoping they will record more music . I am hungry for more.

I really love Blood Ruby, I think they just have a good thing going.
Bass player stays active, guitars are well blended,solid percussion, and a vocalist who occasionally sings flat, and it actually works for the overall balance.

Girl power

Interesting blend of voices, with an echo of something between Nina Persson and Tracey Thorn - not the kind of female voice that appeals to me personally, but with a very distinct timbre and colour that enhances the atmosphere of the songs. Their lower notes are sweet, showing perhaps the real "character" of the voice. Ethereal guitars and keyboards, robust but not overwhelming percussion. The lyrics are beautiful, some of the melodies "difficult" enough to make a difference.

It is one of the albums I found pleasant the first time I listened to them, but something in them made me return and notice even more elements and details that had escaped me before. There is internal power and architecture in this one, despite the first impression of daintiness and fluidity.

Shan Shui and Underwater Place are little gems.
