Search - Robin Guthrie :: Fortune

2012 release from the former Cocteau Twins member. In these ten new songs the listener can find a companion and confidant, a source of inspiration and reflection, and above all, a beautiful expression of all that life's twists and turns of fortune can bring to our lives. Opening with the appropriately titled `Cadence' and the seductive, heady waltz of `Circus Circus', Fortune quickly reveals itself to be a rich and varied emotional journey. The delicate, refined `Ladybird' and lush, immersive atmospherics of `Tigermilk' lead into the heavenly `Like Water In Water' and gentle, reflective `Lavona's Life'. The album opens up further in the second half. The poise and elegance of `Forever Never' and `Perfume And Youth' lead into the epic, climactic `Kings Will Be Falling.' The album closes with the tender `And So To Sleep, My Little Ones', a beautiful track that ends the journey on a note of tranquil reflection.
