Birch – Doldreams

One of Sofie Birch's first official albums when she just went by her surname (which I think works well). More abstract and with some more 'dub' influences than her latter works. Those that like Colleen's first LP will enjoy this one. Also super hard to find on vinyl. Pretty album artwork, too.

This is a really lovely release. At times hints of uncertainty or tension creep in, but these end up sitting subtly amongst more calming or uplifting elements, making for some extremely satisfying listening. The sheer amount of detail within each track is very impressive, giving it a slightly different feel with each new play through. Beautifully produced, hats off to Sofie Birch for this release, so glad I grabbed a copy. I really hope more of her work gets pressed. Love the artwork too!
