Editorial Reviews
2009 sophomore album from the Manchester outfit. Female voice, guitars, synths and rhythm section meld to make dark Folk Rock with hooks and melodies. Moving on from their well-received eponymous debut, Starless & Bible Black have drawn together the sounds of '70s Topanga Canyon Country Rock, '80s Mancunian jangle, and space-age psychedelic drones to make this dynamic, warm and woodsy album. Gone are the dulcimers and banjos of the first record, replaced by an electrifying wall of Telecaster and Moog, and standing in the center of this bold, widescreen sound resides the earthy and husky voice of H‚lŠne Gautier. Recorded at Bryn Derwen within the wilds of the Snowdonian mountains, and during all night sessions in the relative tranquility of their local village hall, Shape Of The Shape is an album of contrasting styles, themes and approaches that coheres beautifully into a seamless entity.

5.0 out of 5 stars
cosmic folk/prog space...,
By Charlie Quaker "The Quaker Goes Deaf" (Normal, IL.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shape of the Shape (Audio CD)
2nd album from British band who play space-age, moog-drenched, cosmic country/folk-prog,
led by the dusky-hued voice of an angel. Like Pentangle, Fairport Convention & Espers having a backyard meeting with Mazzy Star & Stereolab at the Jetson's house. Rewarding & relaxing in an unconventionally satisfying manner.
