Jessica Bailiff – “Even in Silence” and “Hour of the Trace” – CD
(Kranky) Graceful and quiet, almost ethereal. A lover whispering secrets into your ear; secrets falling like snow, cold and accumulating, a little disconcerting, sometimes chilling, but comforting the way that only honesty can be at the point of intimacy. Jessica Bailiff ’s voice glides just barely above the sparse instrumentation, ghostly and compassionate. Original, minimalist music, with something foreboding that seeps through the edges of quiet and beautiful songs.
