Stay Frightened - Still

The vocals of Conrad L. Dickey are so harmonic the ooze in between the music with sombre synth and piano melodies interwoven. The vox add layers to the music, but don't detract with the arrangement. Many of the song titles tell the story: 'The rain and bruises'; 'Windblown luminaries' and 'Languid blue smile'. The music will drift out of your consciousness, you will always be drawn back in to what is a very relaxing album. If you don't really like your music ethereal, ghostly and wispy, than this is definitely not for you. Unique, pure, emotional melancholia.

The cd is a real treat for the ears and an absolute must for all fans of calm, gliding music combined with an expressive, sad but sensitive voice, never heard before. At the end you feel immensely sad and melancholy and you have to tear away yourself to turn to reality.
