Azeda Booth, In Flesh Tones
2008 | Label: Absolutely Kosher / IODA

Hyper-falsetto'd lead man Jordon Hassock navigates Calgary's Azeda Booth through a jungle of cliche (but apt) "pretty music" descriptors: hazy, ethereal, glacial, atmospheric. It could go on and on. Air is a big reference on In Flesh Tones, but there's a bit more muscle here: thumping drums and digital errata make tracks like "In Red" more fist-pumping than you'd ever think an "atmospheric" group could be.

Dreamy falsetto over a cross between shoegaze and ambient...skewed toward ambient, but strongly melodic. It's an even odder mix than it sounds...and a better one. First Little Britches was the first to catch my ear - definitely the poppiest track on the disk, but hardly conventional - call it glitch without the glitch. The album didn't really need those last 2 songs (sorry bro), but without reservation, one of the year's loveliest. Here's how much I like it: at this very moment, I'm looking at the 6 playlists to the right of this, and at this very minute, THREE of 'em are mine.
