Lucy Gooch – Night Window Part One

On her debut album Desert Window, Lucy Gooch stays true to her electronic foundations, while incorporating more acoustic instrumentation and digging deeper into her folk roots through songwriting. At the heart of Lucy’s music is her rapturous, at times operatic vocal, with which she bring to the fore more than with previous releases. The result is described as “an atmospheric balance between Kate Bush and Cocteau Twins harmonies” which is risky ground with which to invite comparison; the fact that I’m not mad about it shows just how good this album is.

Lucy Gooch – Chained To A Woman

My obsession with anything that even vaguely evokes the 80s continues unabated, satiated generally today by Bristol-based artist Lucy Gooch’s beautiful EP Rain’s Break, and specifically by this track, with its sparse, crystalline synth lines and breathy vocals. Gooch said of the EP that she wanted to create something “with a dissonance and eeriness to it”, and those aims have absolutely been fulfilled, the resulting EP providing a brief but engrossing escape from the relentless grind of reality.
