a Review by Anna Maria Stjarnell
This is Alice Bierhorst's sixth album, but only the
second one I've heard. Her sound is soft, but filled
with tension. She's not unlike Cat Power in style and
quality.
"At Sunset" has a bluesy twang and a hushed vocal by
Bierhorst.
"The Circle" is a tender song with a very
moving lyric. "Wake up my darling Spring came while
you dreamt of flying" sings Bierhorst.
"Sickle-Backed Mare" is a hypnotic, folksy song.
"Law of Averages" is marvelous.
"Peace on earth will be delayed again" she sings aptly.
"Eartbound" is a great album and a more distinctive work than "Oxygen", which was good, but not this good.
