On her debut album, Lucy Gooch stays true to her electronic foundations, while incorporating more acoustic instrumentation and digging deeper into her folk roots through songwriting. But at the heart of Lucy’s music is her rapturous vocal, with which she has experimented more than ever over the course of her first full-length.
These eight songs are deceptively obtuse, her vocals wandering the space between the conscious and the subconscious, between control and expression. The result is an atmospheric balance between Kate Bush and Cocteau Twins harmonies, Vangelis major chords, and a juxtaposition of folk ambience reminiscent of the offset madrigals of The Third Ear Band and Italian cult film composers Goblin.
‘Desert Window’ is a complex and elegant album, an all-consuming series of songs that reach into jazz, electronica and classical song construction.
‘Desert Window’ is out now, available for pre-order in Limited Edition White Vinyl, Limited Edition ‘Indies Exclusive’ Marble Vinyl. Orders from select record stores include signed lyric/art print.
