Chimney Fish - Drown, Sailor, Drown
Chimney Fish is a musical project of Annie Culver. Her trademark is her solo voice, overdubbed and accompanied by viola and/or electronics. This is very melodic but basically ambient music. The feel is tentative, warm and cerebral. Her 39 minutes EP Drown, Sailor, Drown is a good example of all the various colors and emotion she can get from her deceptively simple arrangements. I especially like her compositions when it is nothing but layered voices as on the Judds cover “Love is Alive” or her original “Fourth Month”, Occasionally the beat becomes more pronounced as on “Marble Glitter” which has an early Enya sound but Chimney Fish is most original when the voices and electronics floats and seduces as it does on “Let our Hair Down”. This is odd, serene and addictive music.
You can find Drown, Sailor, Drown plus a brief four track EP titled Color Wheel from Rack and Ruin Records in 128kbps MP3.
Thanks very much for the nice Chimney Fish review.
