Metallic Falcons - Desert Doughnuts (Album)
"Desert Doughnuts" is an ambient journey to the centre of the soul. Coco Rosie's Sierra Casady and Voodoo-Eros' Matteah Baim have created an album that sounds like a soundtrack to sleeping in a moonlit desert, surrounded by nature and the beauty of the world.
Sounding like it was recorded in a cathedral somewhere in the next galaxy, the album has moments of drama, with spoken word throughout. Operatic samplings layered beneath trip-hop beats creates music perfect for meditation, sleeping, or getting stoned.
Soothing to the soul, the songs remind me of raindrops spattering a dance on a tin roof. "Silent Night", "Berry Metal" and "Misty Song" entrance me. The vocals remind me of Maddy Prior from '70s folk-rock group, Steeleye Span, with pagan tinges of richness and melody.
Jazzy, smokey sensations and tribal yearnings resplendent in sirenesque pleas. This album is delicate and intoxicating.
