От издателя:
Time is the sensation of mortality; the steady transition from past to future, certainty to uncertainty. And while the certainty of mortality has preoccupied humanity since the earliest times, there also exists an ancient desire to know the future. Science considers only objective reality, where events are taken as evidence of physical laws whose truth may be ascertained by experiment. Clairvoyants, on the other hand, have always tried to go one step further, but have never claimed control over the laws of gravity or methods of communication.
CLAIRE VOYANT are a four-piece band from Sacramento. The name, a play on the French 'clairvoyant' (one who possesses 'second sight'), was also the name of a sensational 1940s comic strip series. The fictional Claire Voyant was the alias of an antiheroine called “The Black Widow”, whilst CLAIRE VOYANT the band conceals singer Victoria Lloyd.
With their new album "Lustre", CLAIRE VOYANT lead the listener on a trip through a dreamlike musical world. Victoria's dulcet voice, heavily treated with echo and chorus, winds its way through forests of keyboard and guitar. Despite filling the acoustic space to its limit, the effect is warm and clear but never excessive. "Lustre" heralds the long overdue return of that rarest of CDs which renders your player's 'skip' function unnecessary: the entire album is the hit! Simply press play, sit back, and let your world be transformed.
Традиционное воздушное, одухотворенное и гладко отполированное darkwave-звучание коллектива на альбоме "Lustre" обогатилось элементами этереального акустического построка и мечтательного атмосферного инди-рока, характерного для продукции лейблов 4AD, Crammed Disc и Project Records (COCTEAU TWINS, THIS MORTAL COIL, BEL CANTO, Colin Newman). Электроника в композициях присутствует в мягком завуалированном виде, в том числе изредка в виде четко очерченных ритмических образцов, которые придают дополнительный драйв и энергетику. Новый альбом американского квартета CLAIRE VOYANT уже после первого прослушивания покоряет своим красивым и плавным мелодичным звучанием.
