Wales’ own DANIELLE LEWIS instils ethereal bliss on DREAMING IN SLOW MOTION

DANIELLE LEWIS

Dreaming In Slow Motion (Red Robin) 

Dreaming In Slow Motion, a stately album by Cardiff-based west Walian Danielle Lewis, creeps up on you from a two-metre distance and then gives you a big hug, though likely one of farewell. Its tunes come at a languid pace: minimal instrumentation on piano, brushed drums, and vibraphone, while atmospheric guitars and understated synths from Alex Hibbert and producer Secondson give Lewis’ warm, rich voice the perfect grounding to float above.

RELATED: ‘Breichiau Hir have a heavier sound than most of their indie-leaning peers, which, as they tell Noel Gardner, is what the Welsh language scene is missing.’

A Woman Like You and Temporary find the sweet spot between Karen Carpenter and the Cowboy Junkies; the title track is a slice of late-night Julee Cruise cherry pie, Weyes Blood is a kindred spirit on Flower, My Youth and Help Me, In My Sleep, with Danielle Lewis’s treated voice and ethereal instrumentation throughout Dreaming In Slow Motion, feels like one of This Mortal Coil’s dreams made flesh. Intense torch songs Slow, Sad And Real and Life Of Worth, meanwhile, both out-noir Lana Del Rey.

words CHRIS SEAL

KEEP READING: ‘Working Men’s Club looked to be poised on the brink of a major breakthrough last year. At The Globe in Cardiff this week, they finally recoup that glory.’
