Beth Gibbons lança seu primeiro álbum solo após 10 anos

C hange is the only constant: as more birthdays rack up, 🌟 some platitudes land bone-deep. Beth Gibbons's very long-awaited debut solo album, Lives Outgrown, comes as a riposte to time's lethal 🌟 arrow and, throughout its 10-year gestation, to the loss of loved ones, relationships, health, ovulation; other things that have gone 🌟 "too far to rewind".

Given Gibbons's role in trip-hop heroes Portishead, Lives Outgrown is a notably breakbeat-free zone. Unlike her 2002 🌟 album with Rustin' Man, Out of Season, she doesn't turn to the swoop of jazz to impart longing, either.

Um tom 🌟 moderno e antigo

The woody timbres here are most often those of folk, but this is a modern, free ancientness that 🌟 swings and tumbles. The percussion, by Lee Harris of Talk Talk, has a speaking role: boxes of curtains, wooden drawers 🌟 and cowhide water bottles don't just keep time, but enact the collapse of everything known.

Vigor e vida estão presentes

Vigour and 🌟 life are everywhere, though: on the fanfares on Beyond the Sun, in Burden of Life's silvery grace, and the elegiac 🌟 closure of Floating on a Moment.
