Description
Chrysanths - Leave No Shadow
On debut album Leave No Shadow, Chrysanths’ Emily Scott creates a
deep technicolour-tinged world, and finds herself flowering in new
territory from that of her band Modern Studies. At once elegiac and
celebratory, it has a swirling orchestra of Scotland’s finest strings at
its core and is sensitively woven together by the thread of Scott’s
effortless voice.
Recorded in Scotland with Emily Scott firmly in the producer’s chair,
Leave No Shadow finds the artist flowering in new territory from that
associated with her band, Glasgow-based Modern Studies. The most
distinctive sonic elements here are the swirling, enveloping string
arrangements written by Scott. With Susan Bear’s thoughtful bass
guitar and Owen Curtis Williams’s delicate drums, the album takes
on a luxurious timbre reminiscent of Jean Claude Vannier’s late 60s
studio work or the evocative world-building of Fontana-era Scott
Walker.
Chrysanths, or Chrysanthemums, are traditionally considered flowers
of death and mourning in the west. While there is an embedded
sadness in Emily Scott’s work on Leave No Shadow, the complexity
and deft touch employed by the musician also points to renewal. In
tarot, Death teaches one to outgrow ways of life, points to personal
growth and rebirth. Death also teaches us to celebrate the now, to
focus on the present and to celebrate life. Leave No Shadow
embodies these sentiments, reflecting on the small treasures we
move amongst. Chrysanths' fluid storytelling unlocks wave upon
wave of emotion and aural joy: Sometimes fierce, often gentle,
always here and always now.
The rose pink vinyl includes a 320kbps download card.
