I covered The Violet Twilight's superb Above The Clouds album here. Just six months later we graced with a follow up EP. New South Wales's Tim Butcher has fashioned up another splendid soundscape that is simply enchanting.
The vocal as ever is gentle and fits in beautifully with the arrangements. That vocal is reminiscent of the likes of Orgone Box, but rather than Rick Corcoran's addictive choruses, these songs are built more around the instrumental performances.
The Pastoral Psych is still present, but this EP treads more into Modern Prog. Never straying from the melody, these five tunes rely much more on the vibe and the whole piece. Cicada is more about the complete piece and the arrangements wash over you in a very soothing way.
There are none of the usual crashing chords and riffs that you might expect from IDHAS, but the EP is so well produced, themed and performed that you cannot help but be impressed. At times, there is a chilled out feel that allows you to sit back and enjoy the depth of the music.
You can listen to and buy the EP here.
