With this new record Gossimer has really hit on something mysterious, honest, curious, and, in moments, downright anthemic and rocking. Echoes of Vashti Bunyan, Karen Dalton and even more obscure voices like Reiko Kudo can be heard fluttering in the record's tender makeup. Patient and honest, these songs, often wrapped in beautiful horn and woodwind arrangements, bare an earthy and observant soul that asks us to look closely at the images and sounds we've been made privy to. jesse
