My Review: Lila Ehjä -yö

Lila Ehjä -yö

An extraordinary talent, Lila: capable of having precise ideas, of knowing how to choose the right instruments, how to play them, and of being precise in the structure of her songs, so full of intensity and that seductive penumbra that galvanises the listener. A refined display of a methodicalness that absolutely needs strong and emblematic themes, the album reveals a darkness that admits to our gaze. The French nature of the plot is beautifully preserved and everything becomes minimalist in these Post-Coldwave flashes of great generosity, where the electronic part keeps everything compact. It's lashings of overflowing Synth, a series of stimuli that shake and then there's her voice that perfectly sums up the contrast with the musical side. After almost two years, yö is still a clear spark in the darkness of a music that struggles to be a clean mirror...
