Isobel Anderson fourth full-length “Chalk/Flint” (2017) easy and effortlessly stood out with no exageration as one of the most outstandingly brilliant albums from last year. A unmatchable sonic beauty where the music, the vocals and soundscape compositions from field recordings are wonderfully crafted.
There is a certain nostalgia by the sea transversing almost every song, an experimental, avant-gard perspective stretching their horizons of meaning, an intersecton of different layers which remind chunks of text with proper personality within some wider, substantial, textured structure known as song. An absolute delight.
