About Me |
|
| From out of woods, over lakes and hills, and into the early morning streets where you walked, emerged a mist of beautiful sadness... After four years comes 'The Spirit Of Elegy', an album of ten exquisitely sorrowful songs, written, performed and produced by Sonny, and recorded in London over the period of a year. Take solace... minimalCD002 'The Spirit Of Elegy' 1. The Mourning Mist 2. Frost Fair (London Elegy) 3. Earth And Dust 4. Lighthouses For The Desolate 5.

It is lush and delicate and centered...'The Spirit Of Elegy' is one to stick on the record player" Nicole Farrell, Bearded Magazine "Stunning stuff...it's very special" Tom Robinson, BBC Radio 6Music "Refined, crafted, restrained...splendidly exquisite and warmly recommended" Sean Worrall, Organ Magazine "Moving, sacred and at times heartbreaking, 'The Spirit Of Elegy' glows with a warmth that its creator has etched into every track" Carl Williams, Last Broadcast "A crepuscular album" Chris Evans, 'The Curve Ball' WCR-FM "It's rare that something comes along that is so far from the mainstream that it becomes hard to describe or draw realistic parallels to" Laura R, The-Mag "Each song is a masterpiece in its own right, sparkling in unison as the album pulls together...something with such melancholy beauty shouldn't be left in the dark" Olivia Jaremi, Tasty Fanzine "Luscious and hypnotic...beautifully weird and wonderful... the tracks unfold gracefully but poignantly and swill around the room cocooning the listener in rich and warm sound" Toxic Pete minimalCD001 'Twilight-World Music' 1.
