Ana Silvera - Oracles (Gearbox Records)
Format: Vinyl LP
Cat No: GB1548
Poignant, dreamlike, beautiful and written following the sudden loss of her mother and brother, Oracles was Silvera’s way to transmute her grief into a cathartic work of art.
The result is a haunting yet life-affirming collection of songs whose lyrics explore loss, love, salvation and the journey towards acceptance, themes that are underscored by beguiling, weaving choral lines, mellifluous Debussian piano melodies, subtly off-kilter percussion and rapturous strings, all unified by Silvera’s dynamic vocal style which evokes the delicate yet theatrical prowess of Kate Bush, combined with what the Arts Desk described as a “Björk-like spontaneity.”
