Style: neo-classical, ambient, noise
Primary Emotions/Themes: Abstract themes, musical variations, experiments
Thoughts: Jessica Moss' music is odd to say the least. I've quite enjoyed some of her earlier works as they were abstract ambient pieces with classical instrumentation. Galaxy Heart is a bit of a harder nut to crack though.
Where this album differs from the earlier ones that I've heard is that the experiments seem to be less focused. One composition will be experimenting with feedback from a violin while the next feels like an abstract classical piece. Distorted guitars are used with industrial noodlings thrown in, droning tones are overlaid with odd vocal harmonies. It's all very strange... and not in a way that I enjoy.
There is a place for experimetnal music in my collection. However, sometimes that experimentation does not resonate with my tastes. I simply think that is what's going on with Galaxy Heart. I respect the music for what it is, but this likely will not be seeing much in thew ay of rotation on my turntable outside of this initial listen.
