Sasha Bell paints with precision on her new album Love Is Alright, gping back to the heyday of orchestral pop to tell stories about rare books, death and tress management. As a (former) member of bands The Sixth Great Lake, Ladybug Transistor, and The Essex Green, she knows a thing or two about arranging and creating complex yet catchy indie pop songs.
This is not the debut of prodigy, but the full-blown statement of a musician who knows that there is dark side to life and dealing with it can be done by music to release the tension, to remember and to wonder at the weirdness or sheer futility of it all. Baroque, intense, and with superb dynamics that will the test the outer limits of the capabilities of the listener's audio set-up.
Love Is Alright is released via ¡Both Sides Now! (vinyl, digital).
