Shaped by vocalist\/bassist\/keyboardist Misty Marys experiences with grief and anxiety, the trios quietly stunning third album provides a balm for troubled times, whether theyre personal or political. WLs earlier work offers glimpses of what they attain here: in particular, their previous album Light Years (which they recorded in 2013 but released in 2016 after collaborating with filmmakers to get the perfect visuals for each track) points the way toward ADHDs free-form sounds as well as the bands unhurried creative process. The years WL spent making this album are reflected in its refined, patiently unfolding songs. Morning is as softly majestic as its name, fusing psych and dream pop together with dawning synths and Marys caressing harmonies. The title track is just as serene, with pealing tones that invite listeners into Marys gentle meditations on change (the moods WL create on these songs are so immersive, its no wonder that Mary is a virtual reality developer). Theres also a warmth and empathy to their music that many of their influences and contemporaries dont always have. On Waters on My Side, they set a vocal melody so delicate its almost subliminal to a network of bubbling electronics with equally soothing and moving results. Borrowing the contemplative feel of ambient music and a melody that could be from a long-forgotten folk song, Mountain Home holds on to its intimacy even as its synths build to towering heights. While the bands musical palette is more restrained on ADHD than before, the subtle shifts within it are fascinating. The focus on electronics makes WLs music seem more dreamlike than ever, particularly on Ganzfeld Light, where Marys musings are encased in a shimmering web thats finally overpowered by her radiant harmonies. By contrast, the guitar-driven Violet Shadow is just as striking, with Michael Yun and Adam Breedens brooding distortion making for one of the most abstract and powerfully emotional songs. Amidst all of the albums growth and change, WL manage to sound humble and confident at the same time. Inward-looking but never insular, ADHD is proof theyre doing something special. ~ Heather Phares\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Morning\u003cbr\u003e2.Water's on My Side\u003cbr\u003e3.Show Me\u003cbr\u003e4.Mountain Home\u003cbr\u003e5.Ganzfeld Light\u003cbr\u003e6.Violet Shadow\u003cbr\u003e7.ADHD\u003cbr\u003e8.Voices\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beacon Sound","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47526797771041,"sku":"769791977426","price":34.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/769791977426.jpg?v=1700927222","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/it-it\/products\/769791977426","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
