5.0 out of 5 stars Snowy: Elegant and Etherial Dreamscapes, August 22, 2002

By

This review is from: Lilywhite (Audio CD)

Combine the soft, breathy delivery and etherial moods of Julee Cruise with the hip, jazzy beats of Morcheeba and the production sensibilities of George Martin (in the the psychedelic era) or, perhaps more appropriately, the mid-career production and arrangements of the Cocteau Twins and you begin to get a sense of the musical territories covered by Snowy on this lush and beautiful debut recording. This is a sparse, subtle recording in which almost every part is clear and foregrounded in the mix; consequently, few parts are lost in a wash of sound. Instead, the well-crafted songs, Evenson's compelling, upfront vocals and melodies, and a variety of interesting ambient textures claim their own spaces within this ambitious and self-restrained group of songs. I would highly recommend Lilywhite to fans of the aforementioned bands as well as fans of other 4 A.D. bands and folks drawn to well-conceived, modern ambient music and subtle psychedelic projects. This is definitely music for low-key and contemplative moods and, thus, it is not for everyone or for every occasion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Emotional and Poetic, August 27, 2003

This review is from: Lilywhite (Audio CD)

I am a big fan of Aimee Mann and a friend of mine recommended I try this CD.
I quickly fell in love with this CD and, lately, I am listening to this CD in addition to Aimee Mann's "Lost in Space" (another nice album).
Snowy's songs are filled with emotion, poetic lyrics and "ghostly vocals".
My favorites are: Lilywhite, Let it Go and Surf Song.
