GENRE : alternative, art rock, chamber pop, freak folk, indie rock
RECORD LABEL : Perpetual Doom
Here's a gorgeous chamber pop album to soothe your aching spirit. This is the new album by American artist/musician Eric Terino, and the latest release by the ever-growing/ever-mystifying record label, Perpetual Doom.
These songs are deeply personal and confessional, yet rather than dragging you down into the dark pits of Terino's pain and suffering, they help you transcend your human boundaries and frailties, and ultimately elevate you to some higher plane. They make you feel like you can be whoever you want to be in this life. Like in all good music and art, Terino has the ability to turn heartbreak and tragedy into something beautiful and healing.
Within seconds of pressing play I was lured and lulled by Terino's gorgeous voice - delicate, vulnerable, haunting and melancholic. The music itself is a beautiful mix of chamber pop and alternative art rock - the central focus being Terino's vocals and piano playing, wonderfully backed by soaring orchestral strings, jazzy French horns, harps and a musical saw.
In the overall sound I hear elements of Anthony & The Johnsons, Tori Amos, Sigur Ros, and maybe even a bit of Bon Iver... yet at the same time it's entirely its own thing. This is music conjured from the deepest recesses of the human heart. I highly recommend you give it a listen.
