Sea of Bees - Songs for the Ravens

Review by Billy Hamilton

A distinctly prosaic affair that places Baenziger in the same awkward corner as KT Tunstall – a highly skilled artist who doesn’t always make best use of her ability.»

under this aptly delicate moniker, multi-instrumentalist julie baenziger, aided and abetted by producer and studio hand john baccigaluppi have created an album as spare as the emotions that are so adroitly expressed within - a perfectly pitched, muted masterpiece built of acoustic guitars, gentle backing and baenziger's clear bell of a voice. the innocence, honesty and purity of intention that flows throughout here manifests itself compositionally and technically - a beautifully crafted, emotionally mature debut that would be beguiling enough, even if it were not for the fact that baensziger played every instrument heard.
