Samantha Rodrigues da Cruz from Brazil gets for A Lonely Sinnerthe fourth album under the Samlrcbanner, at least on relevant Internet platforms, a lot of attention.
Behind the almost archetypal for a veritable power-Hype designed artwork and the matching musical DIY aesthetic (“all songs were recorded in my bedroom with a BM-800 microphone and a BMG22 interface, along with guitars, harmonica, tambourine, flute, boxes, soda cans, a violin bow and samples from songs i love“), a concept album “regarding a sheep experiencing love in it’s nature” from the fact that the content actually, as claimed elsewhere, has its parallels to The Preacher‘s Daughter can be seen, meanwhile A Lonely Sinner otherwise often feels like a (great and authentically produced) home recording
(Including the unrecognizably assimilated but aesthetically appropriate Plunderphonics ingredients from “Chirin Bell 1978, Swans – A Piece Of The Sky Demo, Silent Hill 2 OST – White Noize, Bjork – Family, Low – Lullaby, Natural Snow Buildings – The Source, Merzbow – Yellow Hyper Balls, Yves Tumor – Lifetime, Princess Mononoke Theme, Vitamin String Quartet – Hyperballad Bjork Cover„).
After the backwards looped ambient intro that unravels the mood Lamb Theme goes Samlrc In any case, to the fullest: Philautia opens as a peaceful awakening banter in the morning, the guitars burble folk-like, but soon the scenario swells, slows down over quiet bleating, and drops a melancholic, fragile-intimate (and somewhat harmless-interchangeable, but beguiling) song from the time, while electronic effects flow over it out of phase. Dreamy, unreal and yet grippy, an increasingly powerful percussion drives the bedroom sound of delicate emphasis, the careful urgency later even includes a creaking noise rock guitar in lo-fi, and creates a cinemascope maelstrom as part of its asceticism that flickers in a shimmering crescendo.
This is ambitious eclecticism in well-rounded songwriting – not revolutionary or original, but charismatically using the right emotional levers and completely organically overcoming genre boundaries. Weighted like this A Lonely Sinner a nice range of facets, although at times the impression of a quasi-debut album that doesn’t yet fully sum up its strengths remains as an unpolished diamond in the rough – which means that lying between the points doesn’t quite feel like it’s quite enough to round up the final rating.
The soft tapping Sinner trudges through a flock of sheep to the bittersweet heavy elegy of shoegaze and is absorbed in its somnambulistic groove, in its yearning one Flowerfields The melancholy reflected on the keyboard has a profound effect. Storge As the second long track on the record, it only gets tangled up in its “teach me how to be a scary wolf“-sample, then strums absentmindedly in the ambient, but in the feedback ultimately conjures up grandiose martial drums and drone metal as a cute version of Borisbefore the slacker poppy Sheep Theme straight and catchy (but also, like most of the pieces here, using fleeting melodies away from the atmosphere) compactly in the optimistic mood of optimism For M. beyond the horizon, fiddling and fiddling, conjuring up an orchestral stomping atmosphere in the lively folk music, where the orchestral end credits The Beauty then said goodbye forgivingly and symptomatically bowing to his title.
The enthusiasm that prevails in some places doesn’t necessarily have to follow – but this is understandable given the sound of the record that makes you feel comfortable and secure, some fantastic scenes and an impressive quality that comes out of nowhere with a surprising effect!
