Lauren Bousfield - Palimpsest

Composer and electronics mastermind Lauren Bousfield has always displayed a virtuosic flare while ecstatically flying by our ears at lightning speed, seemingly from 10 directions at once. On her latest album, she brings a newfound expertise in orchestral arranging from her other work as a cinema composer, and puts vocals to the front. Much like her finger-blurring piano playing, these vocals seem to be passing us by at the speed of light. We know they're there, but they dance around us rather than beat straight into our bodies. Our souls feel these songs, not just our hips.
