Christina Carter - Alone Together #1 - Obelisk / Tholos

This right here is the first in a series of 7"s being put out be Emerald Cocoon focusing on recordings by today's more interesting solo artists. I dunno if she's too accomplished with her solo stuff for her past work to still be mentioned in every review but here's Charalambides's Christina Carter offering up a couple of focused and minimal little jams, with drawn out a capella vocals accompanied only by twinkling chimes in the background. It's a strange and heady mix of sensuality and spirituality, with Carter keening long drawn-out vocal meditations that really take you somewhere interesting. It's got a pretty spooky feel to it, this one, but the atmospheres it creates are undeniably palpable and if you're a fan of CC's previous work this'll make for a welcome addition to your collection.
