The Golden Morning Breaks

Cécile Schott, whose 2003 debut Everyone Alive Wants Answers was hypnotizing mix of sampled recordings, found sounds, and lullabies mined from the chaos of recordings never meant to be heard together, delivers an equally stunning achievement of meditative beauty; with nary a beat, the Golden Morning Breaks embraces, abandons, and prepares for the warm jets, swathing listeners in a sea of comfort through it's simultaneous familiarity and distinctness. However, the Golden Morning Breaks was recorded live with acoustic instruments, some familiar (an earlier life in noise rock and pop bands was called back up to memory) and others learned for this recording.
