Album Review: Tasseomancy - Do Easy

"Beautifully crafted experimental pop that's wilfully elusive but rewarding."

Prolific twin sisters Sari and Romy Lightman give us their fifth Tasseomancy album in Do Easy.

Wooing our ears with sweet harmonies, they delight in producing art pop that sets listeners adrift across luscious layers of dreamy atmospheric moods that seem to blossom magically. They get things started by name checking Dead Can Dance & Neil Young, reminiscing about the past and taking clear direction from Kate Bush on a piano-driven ballad. Their sympathies seem to lay with freak folk but the title track and new single Missoula push personal lyrical insights onto beautifully crafted experimental pop that's wilfully elusive but rewarding.
