Mastermind
and bandleader behind White Willow - Jacob Holm-Lupo is a guy who
isn't afraid to follow his heart and explore new territories with
each release, but and it's a big but this album appeals to very,
very few metal fans... if any at all...
If
you like me enjoyed The Gathering's 'Home' album earlier this year
or if you have a soft spot for singer/songwriters like Kate Bush,
Bjork or Tori Amos, then you might find some memorable spots on
this album.
A
few interesting songs have found their way to this brilliantly
produced album - done by Tommy Hansen in his famous Jailhouse
Studio in Horsens, but for most parts this drift into boring
soundscapes, that sometimes reminds me a bit of Mezzoforte (and
that's not a compliment!).
This
album features the stunning new vocalist Trude Eidtang, who like
her predecessor Sylvia Erichsen possesses an outstanding voice,
but her style is more in the singer/songwriter area... so we end
up with a quite boring collection of songs, that most metal fans
most likely will hate, but do take a listen if you like any of the
artists mentioned above!
Recommended
tracks:
"Splinters", "Joyride" & "The Dark
Road".
