Fortune

2012 release from the former Cocteau Twins member. In these ten new songs the listener can find a companion and confidant, a source of inspiration and reflection, and above all, a beautiful expression of all that life's twists and turns of fortune can bring to our lives. Opening with the appropriately titled 'Cadence' and the seductive, heady waltz of 'Circus Circus', Fortune quickly reveals itself to be a rich and varied emotional journey. The delicate, refined 'Ladybird' and lush, immersive atmospherics of 'Tiger milk' lead into the heavenly 'Like Water in Water' and gentle, reflective 'Lavona's Life'. The album opens up further in the second half. The poise and elegance of 'Forever Never' and 'Perfume And Youth' lead into the epic, climactic 'Kings Will Be Falling.' the album closes with the tender 'And So to Sleep, My Little Ones', a beautiful track that ends the journey on a note of tranquil reflection.
