Review

Luscinia's Lullaby is the fourth CD by internationally acclaimed Canadian singer and composer Laurel MacDonald.

MacDonald has built her recording career on a production style characterized by the use of multiple layers of her voice, with eclectic instrumentation and soundscapes concocted by producer and sound designer Philip Strong. MacDonald's vocals dovetail and spiral in bewitchingly complex layers. By turns she sings with simmering intensity and wistful fragility: here, a spine-tingling invocation; there, a sleepless lullaby. From boyish soprano to throaty alto; from yodels to whispers to wails.

Luscinia's eludes description as if the act of elusion were itself a game. A torch song rife with playful innuendo is accompanied by slithering slide guitar and liquid violins. A trippy, groove-driven polyphonic chant generates a new wave of mediaeval funkadelia. A gaggle of Venusian doo-wop girls warble and croon their way through a jubilant rhapsody. An aching lament is borne forth on a tube drum with undertones verging on the subsonic, conjured to resonate through your body and into your bones.

With Luscinia's Lullaby, Laurel MacDonald and Philip Strong juxtapose surprising musical elements with ingenuity and beguiling sleight of hand. They hurl their sonic mirror ball into the stratosphere, to create a pulsing, buzzing, soaring vocal fantasia.
