Sabriel's Orb - Skin to Skin

Rain taking the form of falling mist, the gentleness depicted by the stillness of all that is green. Time seems motionless, as the sun is covered by a blanket of grey whiteness. There is s thickness in the air, warmth and moisture combining to nourish life. This is a drastic change from the full sunlight of the day before. Sabriel's Orb has these qualities, an ambient temperance of tranquility and splendor. Sounds delivered gradually, with care and love. A composition providing both a resting place and charge of sanguinity. A welcome change from the flood of noise each day produces.

Sabriel's Orb is the project of Willow Skye-Biggs. Two years ago Lost in a Sea of Sound had the pleasure of describing a Sabriel's Orb release on Whited Sepulchre Records. This was part of the labels split cassette series, and a few copies are still available from the label. Unless some sounds have circulated off the radar, Sabriel's Orb newest titled Skin to Skin makes the second release and first full length. Four tracks diving in just under forty minutes. This composition flows with depth and mystery. Sounds addressing the thin veil between contentment and introspection. A droning snugness with affable notes of sparkling radiance. Willow Skye-Biggs exposing the fluctuations of feelings within a day. Reassuring us there is nothing wrong with sadness and happiness housed in a single thought. An aural affirmation we are capable of both.

Released on Inner Islands in an edition of one hundred. Gorgeous art surrounds another dilithium crystal for the labels interstellar catalog. Physical copies are currently available but will follow the path of most releases on the label. Skin to Skin slowly grows with vibrant thoughtfulness.
