Search - Paulina Cassidy :: Sugar Wingshiver

"Cassidy's half-whispered dreamscapes don't need a lot of time to work their way into your mind and soul... Cassidy also has a real feel for creating haunted landscapes... she's rapidly becoming one of my preferred artists." -Hypnagogue

We first met Paulina Cassidy with her hypnotic and magical "Frosty the Snowman" on Projekt s 2012 ORNAMENTAL holiday compilation. Now she returns with a full album of whimsical, quirky dreampop which is as melancholy as it is heartening. A visual artist by trade, Paulina uses her sultry, rich voice as a potent ethereal instrument in combination with her fluidly-layered compositions, drawing the listener into her fascinating world of audible art. Imagine Kate Bush meets Monica Richards with a dusting of Tori Amos to finish off the brew. Sugar Wingshiver's surreal atmospheres are unpredictable, yet mesmerizing, with lush textured strains settled alongside exotic, tribalesque pieces; the music has an ethereal beauty imbued with both the lightness of fairy kisses and the darkness of ghostly whispers. This album is a treat for the discerning lover of the furtive muse.

"There's a beautiful fragility to the vocal work here; it seems spun out in a very fragile, glassy thread, sound coming through like refracted light... Cassidy is a genuine talent to be watched." - Hypnagogue.net
