Album Review: claire rousay - a softer focus

“a softer focus plays like a film where rousay and her guests’ acoustic and synth work acts like the score to her vividly captured and arranged field recordings. In combination, they trace an outline of an emotional journey, with enough definition to dictate an atmosphere, but not so much as to prescribe an exact story; there’s plenty of room to project. It is the soundtrack to rousay’s year of insularity, isolation, and adaptation, and harmonises beautifully with anyone who’s undergone similar feelings of repression and growth during this period.”

The new album by Texas-based sound/ambient artist claire rousay has really got under my skin. Head to Beats Per Minute to read my review of a softer focus.
