Phaeleh - Embers (2020)

Ranging from the dubby and atmospheric to vocal and even poppy, Undertow kingpin Phaeleh resurfaces with the journeysome Embers LP. With swathes of classical strings and fanned basslines adding cushion to the stepped drums of "Unity", melodic ambient progressions find their way to both "Solace Of Tomorrow" and "Halo". Tabla percussion and industrial atmospheres meet with the bowed subs of "When You Left", leaving Amy Kikrpatrick's vocals to set free the evocative tales of both "Spellbound" and "Floods", the warmest track on Embers alongside the uplifting chords and keys of "Moving On".
