O

Acoustic intimacy that ruptures into orchestral desperation. Sparse guitar and mourning cellos capture the exact sound of a heart breaking in real time.

February 1, 2002 · Vector Recordings

A devastatingly intimate exploration of loss that swings between catatonic stillness and screaming catharsis.

Moments Worth Listening For

The jarring transition in I Remember where the delicate acoustic picking suddenly erupts into a distorted, full-band wall of sound

The sound of a wine glass being set down and background chatter during the intro of Cheers Darlin, creating a voyeuristic bar atmosphere

Lisa Hannigan's ethereal, operatic high notes floating above the sparse piano chords on the hidden track portions of Eskimo
