Daughters Of The Sky

This album by the synth-pop duo was written and recorded over a two year period where ideas and arrangements were allowed to slow-cook and develop over time. The music comprises the usual mix of Rachel Horwood's flawlessly resonant folk cadence and Nick Carlisle's pristine synth production, whilst TR808 drum machines and samples lock together with acoustic drums. Ancient ARP synthesisers and Mellotron flutes and horns sit next to contemporary digital sounds and samples in a hauntological tapestry over which Horwood can intone her sometimes mournful, often uplifting vocals.
