With lush piano keys, droning strings in the background and recurrent saxophone flourishes we are treated to warm, organic soundscapes underneath which Gaze Is Ghost&#8217;s vocals rarely rise above the softness of a sensual sigh. Each composition is meticulously layered to draw you into an otherworldly embrace and make you wonder about the time and effort that went into the making. <\/p>\n<p><em>Grounding Exercise No. 1<\/em> creates a hauntingly dark atmosphere with its percussively strummed guitars, eerie, echoing vocals and pretty touches of sitar whereas <em>Pistorius<\/em> begins with Gaze Is Ghost singing over a lone piano and builds up to an upbeat jazz climax. The sixth track <em>Magnus<\/em>, however, takes a slight detour from the album&#8217;s primary style and relies more on vocal melody, often bringing to mind the work of <strong>Kate Bush<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2fI6xZcqHtc\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Like all art-pop and experimental music, <strong>Plume<\/strong> demands a few careful listens to reward listeners entirely, but I firmly attest to the fact that it&#8217;s worth it.   <\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite Tracks:<\/strong> <em>Coco Lico<\/em>, <em>Grounding Exercise No.1<\/em>, <em>Magnus<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>10\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Track List<\/strong><br \/>\n1.
