Soothing and beautiful, Lia Mice’s second album combines her ethereal, breathy vocals with beats and synths.
Short and sharp, the songs are to the point and benefit from their direct treatment, airy without meandering unnecessarily. There’s a gentleness here that borders on sleepiness at times, the consistent timbre of her voice becoming monotonous. This is offset by the flowing melodies and arrangements with a little more bite to them. The seductive bass of We Live Out Of Sight and curling lead guitar of Everything’s Sailing add a much-needed weightiness to proceedings.
