Annika Bentley's premiere release is a dark, beautiful journey. Annika's strong vocals, guitar and keyboard have a choric majesty to them. Adding to the weave is Rebecca McCallum on violin, Heather Hutton on cello, and Kathleen Fraser on acoustic bass. All four women do not play, so much as create.
The lyrics are not so much written as dreamt into being. They are freeform and evocative. Songs like "One, Two, She's Blue," and "Nights" paint gothic scenes. In contrast "The Favourite" about a child, and "In Here As Much To Feel" about waking late at night thinking about another are uplifting. "In Trepidation Underwater" is the true title track of the CD, and is a dark melody.
This CD is not for everyone. It does break ground in its use of strings, and keyboard in a classical sense. This CD challenges the listener to feel. As much written in song, as in dream, it is highly recommended.
