Add Date: January 20
Artist: Gemma Hayes
Album: The Hollow of Morning
Label: Second Motion
Genre: Indie-pop
Comments: The opening arpeggiation sets the stage for an M. Ward-style brooding folk-sterpiece, but Hayes likes to change it up on us. The first track is pure and lovely, whispered and wistful, as understated as it is unabashed. It segues into a spacy pop song with "Out of Our Hands" and flips back and forth between hushed fingerpicked ballads and peppier rockers. Highlight: "Don't Forget," which sounds like it could be a Broken Social Scene tune if it were muddied up in reverb, horn, and static. Hayes grows up on this album and we thank her for it.
