Erin Jane Laroue, Kertoa Kalevala
Recommended
Chalant, Laroue’s debut collection of keyboard-driven tracks, lives in the shadows near the intersection of folk, new age, gothic pop, and modern classical. Laroue played every instrument on the album, and each song unfolds slowly, providing ample space for Laroue’s haunting melodies and emotionally raw lyrics to bloom. Recurring themes include light and darkness, life and death, fear, redemption, and the uncertainty that always lies ahead.
