This is music that makes me visualize floaty dresses, misty landscapes and magical forests.
Tusks is a vehicle for the spectral voice of Emily Underhill and released as part of One Little Indian's Summer sampler mix.
The downtempo ambient vibe consists of hazy piano, muted percussion and crystalline guitar chords is heard to best advantage on the title track.
For You features wordless vocals and while the other tracks have lyrics it is the fragile atmosphere rather than the words that count.
Underhill is there but not there, understated but always beguilingly present as though waiting to whisk you away to a land where dreams trump reality.
Most will go willingly.
