EARS

Composer, performer, and producer Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith's new album EARS
is an immersive listening experience in which dizzying swirls of organic and
synthesized sounds work together to create a sense of three-dimensional
space and propulsion. Dense and carefully crafted, each of the songs on
EARS unfolds with a fluid elegance, while maintaining a spontaneous energy,
and a sprightly sense of discovery. Listeners familiar with her previous album
Euclid (an album that prompted Dazed to call her ".one of the most
pioneering musicians in the world.") will no doubt notice her heavier use of
vocals on EARS. On all but one song, her gently ecstatic swells of vocals
emerge to soar over a dense jungle of synths and woodwinds.
