'I wish I'd never met you,' she whispers, but does she really want that erasure? This rumination is what she has left.Д®ver since the London octet dropped 'Dark blue' in 2020, I've puzzled at how caroline's strung-together influences вЂ“ Talk Talk's whisper-quiet post-rock, The Velvet Underground's yearning drones and Chamberlain's rootsy noodling вЂ“ mingle with such ambition. As the sound goes round and round, Landen enters a reverie of crashes and burns, speaking to a lover who is able to move on while she just spins. Memory circles inside the song's lyric as the arpeggiated chords she plays on guitar do, too. Lamenting love's rejection, Landen finds herself caught up in a flash from childhood, then pushed into the bog of her recent heartbreak. 'Don't want to remember, but I haven't forgotten.' Not forgetting is not exactly remembering, and that's the point. 'It's getting to be this time last year again,' Landen trills in the voice of a lonely woman, once a girl. Fingerpicking singer-songwriter Ruby Landen captures pain's subconscious evolution perfectly in 'Front Teeth,' a solo track recorded after the release of her haunting 2021 album Martyr, well.

Songs of regret form their own subgenre within popular music, but only so often does a simple tune capture the nonlinear way memory forms and solidifies, both magnifying and distorting trauma's remnants within the psyche. In a way, Shepherd treats Utada like he did Pharoah Sanders' saxophone on last year's Promises вЂ“ even when we depart or disintegrate their transcendent voice, it's implied in the production's undulating shape, still shimmering in awe of Hikaru Utada's presence. Soft-panning bongos, 808 kick drums and funky synths glide in and out of Utada's long-distance yearning for a rendezvous somewhere between London and Paris, where their lover lives. Floating Points, who co-produces the 12-minute track with Utada, understands that their voice has always sounded like a future that glances past вЂ“ out of time, yet ever prescient in how pop music morphs. Cook co-produced the chart-leaning 'Face My Fears' and 'One Last Kiss' alongside Utada, respectively вЂ“ but 'Somewhere Near Marseilles' takes Utada on a hypnotic disco train. There are more immediate tracks on the bilingual Bad Mode вЂ“ Skrillex and A. But more than two decades after their teenaged debut, the brilliant J-pop artist stretches out over a side-long groove. You can always get lost inside Hikaru Utada's intricately designed, deeply felt music. See more #NowPlaying recommendations from Viking's Choice
