Shades

"Adorning the album cover, alone in a dilapidated room, Sola cuts the isolated figure of a stranger in these times. Draped in what appears to be a vintage wedding gown, it is as if she has been picked up and dropped from another epoch, ill at ease with her surroundings.Veering from the personal to the profound, Shades is a darkly poetic confrontation of modern turmoil, haunted by age old spirits. Blending elements of folk, western, doo wop and soul into a sepia tinged melting pot, the vintage hue surrounding these songs shares a similar atmosphere to that which The Walkmen created on You & Me, or that Angel Olsen found on Half Way Home; current, but scarred by the passing of time".

"Sola brings a fresh, fierce energy, hitting targets with poetic precision. Think Jolie Holland, or P.J. Harvey's To Bring You My Love, and prepare to be entranced".
