Recently you may have heard Alison Shaw�s distinctively childlike vocal on the latest full-length from Ghostly International electronica hounds Twine, which aptly seemed to reference a very Cranes-styled approach to dream pop. The opening track here, �Diorama�, makes moves towards the world of electronic music, taking on a sliced-and-diced, granular sound as a brief introduction before moving into more conventional territory on the airy reverb of �Worlds�. On tracks like �Feathers� the band take this sound even further, rendering an ethereal, wraith-like sound from the most ordinary and simple of elements. It�s all very convincing and accomplished, but you do find yourself wondering why the experimental electronics of that opening track haven�t been put into use elsewhere on the record. Eventually, �Sleepwalking� dishes out some very welcome shuffled up drone textures before final track �High and Low� comes to life with warm, frothy guitars and twinkling keyed sounds - Shaw�s voice mirrored by the celestial echo flecks running through the production.
