专辑介绍
by Richie Unterberger
Falling somewhere between folk, classical, and ambient music, Black Forest/Black Sea's self-titled release combines sawing cellos, delicately-picked guitar and banjo, and some slightly more dissonant textures on both vocal and instrumental songs. The mood is often pensive without quite striking a morbid note, like the soundtrack to stumbling across benign, pagan, back-to-the-land holdouts in the middle of the woods. It's appealing melancholy mood music, but the melodic frames of several of the individual tracks are sometimes too similar to each other, which holds this effort back from memorability. Miriam Goldberg's somber, haunted, folk vocals make "Blackbird on Gray" one of the better pieces, while background, short-wave radio and knob-twiddling push the otherwise characteristically folk-classical "Banjo Song" into the record's most experimental territory. It's not all pastoralism, with drum machines and heavily fuzzed guitar making some appearances, and varispeed electronics and ghostly Pink Floyd-like swoops gracing the trance-rocky "Lump in Throat."
