Boomkat product review for:

dawn smithson - Safer Here

For all those who have been alerted to the considerable talent of Ms Smithson through her recent SunnO))) collaboration, 'Safer Here' might come as something of a shock... Fragile whilst stainless steel strong, Dawn Smithson makes friably delicate music that could soundtrack a whole lifetime of heartache. In possession of the kind of candid vocal style that makes it seem she is singing just for you, Smithson is comparable to the likes of Emiliana Torrini, Mara Carlyle and Petra Jean Phillipson in both her muted intensity and ear-syrup tones. Drafting in Rex Ritter (Fontanelle, SunnO)))) David Farrell (Southerning, Dormant) and Jussi Brightmore (100 Pets, Baron Samedi) for disparate backing duties, Dawn Smithson weaves a quixotic web of intermingling vocals and instrumentation; with neither bleaching out the potent force of the other. With particular highlights including the title track, 'Nowhere Near' and 'How Thoughtless', Smithson has added a formidable asset to Kranky's already blemishless catalogue.
