a Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell
Elaine Lachica's debut album enthralls. She weaves
meandering melodies and complex rhythms together.
her voice is soothing and distinct.
"Be That Day" is as surreal as it's beautiful.
Lachica's voice undulates against a restrained
backing.
The song manages to be both bluesy and ethereal.
"Varuna" starts with a sound that resembles falling
rain and builds subtly from there. Lachica's vocals
are warm and inviting here. She also shows thats he
can make near operatic turns with great ease.
The Cocteau Twins like "Garlands racing" has a
heavenly feel.
"9" has plenty of good songs to offer fans of the
dream-pop genre.
