Soley - We Sink





We Sink is the first solo full length for Iceland's Soley having been preceded by the ep Theater Island. The album is a seamless collection of melancholic pop beauty built around wonderfully morose piano and her haunting and at times reverb drenched vocals. Comparisons could be made to You are Free era Cat Power in it's ability to convey such emotion with sparse arrangements and that is only a good thing. I look forward to hearing much more from Soley as I am hooked on this record.
